The £32million striker, 27, has scored six goals in his last six games and has returned to form since Jose Mourinho was sacked and replaced by interim manager Guus Hiddink in December.
Madrid boss Diego Simeone signed Jackson Martinez from Porto last summer but the Colombian forward has struggled to meet up to expectation, scoring just three goals in 22 appearances.
Atletico are understood to have tried to take advantage of Chelsea’s interest in 29-year-old Martinez by offering a swap deal.
Chelsea dismissed it and were then offered a cash-plus-player deal but rejected it out of hand with the Blues insistent that they do not want to sell their Brazil-born Spain striker.
