Martinez joined Atletico last summer from Porto for around €35m, but he has failed to impress at the Calderon. He dropped down the pecking order at the club, after managing only two goals in 15 appearances for Diego Simeone’s side.
The 29-year-old was linked with a move to Chelsea in a potential swap deal for Diego Costa in the January transfer window, but the deal didn’t materialise in the end, as the Blues were unwilling to sell Costa.
