Chelsea suffer blow in pursuit of Martinez
The club then turned their attention to Martinez whose contract expires in 2026 but a new deal will scupper those plans.
Martinez has scored 26 goals in 36 games for Inter this season.
The Blues have struggled to score goals consistently, and they need to bring in an upgrade on Nicolas Jackson.
The former Villarreal attacker has been unable to live up to the expectations since the move to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea will need to improve in that department to get back into the top four and compete for major trophies in the coming seasons.
