GettyImagesThibaut Courtois has been a revelation at Atletico Madrid this season

Thibaut Courtois may be lured to La Liga on a permanent basis with Atletico Madrid set to offer him a long-term contract in the summer, the Daily Mail reports. Signed by Chelsea as a teenager from Belgian side Genk, Courtois has impressed this season while on loan at second-placed Atletico. In fact, his fine form has caused something of a dilemma for the Blues, who are now in serious risk of losing the gloveman. It is believed chelsea goalkkeeping coach Christophe Lollichon flew to Madrid at the weekend to discuss Courtois' future, but has returned without much hope of holding onto the 20-year-old.

Arsenal may lose a player of their own in the summer as left-back Andre Santos continues to be linked with a move to Turkish giants Galatasaray. The 29-year-old rejected a move to Gala in January, according to the Daily Mirror, but a deal could yet be struck for next season following the arrival of Nacho Monreal at the Emirates. Should Monreal settle in as Arsene Wenger's preferred choice, Kieran Gibbs is likely to be given time to develop as his understudy, leaving Santos searching for pastures new.

Neymar remains on track to stick with Santos until after the 2014 World Cup. A report in The Sun states the Brazil international - who will face England at Wembley on Wednesday evening - is pocketing £11 million a year and is in no rush to head to Europe just yet. Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid are all in line to sign the 20-year-old and his performance this week could bump his asking price even further.
