Chelsea target Martinez prepared to leave Porto for 'good transfer'

Jackson Martinez suggests he is prepared to depart FC Porto for a bigger club.

The 27-year old Colombian striker, who has been prolific in Portugal since his move from Chiapas last year, is being linked with a move to Chelsea as Jose Mourinho looks to part with Demba Ba.

Although refusing to name any clubs he would like to join, Martinez made it clear that he is keen to test himself at a higher level before he gets too old.

"The years are passing and one day I hope to make a good transfer," Martinez said.

"It clearly depends on Porto, a club that sells its players so well. Leaving or staying depends on Porto but I will only go if there is something concrete."
