Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is prepared to send Thibaut Courtois back to Atletico Madrid for a fourth season on-loan next term.
But the Sunday Express says Mourinho will only allow such an agreement should Courtois extend his contract with the west London club. His current deal runs to 2016.
Atletico owner Miguel Angel Gil Marin has flown to London several times to try and secure Courtois' services, who has said he will make a decision at the end of the season.
