The Colombian continued his public fawning over the Rojiblancos - despite the club procrastinating on paying the Porto forward's buyout clause
Jackson Martinez thinks that signing for Atletico Madridwould make him a better player, despite talks between the Spanish club and Porto remaining at an impasse.
The Colombian forward was on the brink of signing for AC Milan before Atleti expressed their interest, leading to the 28-year-old to change his mind about a move to San Siro in favour of a switch to the Vicente Calderon.
However, the proposed transfer has been complicated by the Rojiblancos reportedly wanting to pay his €35 million buyout clause in instalments, causing Martinez's agent to accuse the club of being disrespectful.
Martinez has continued his public flirtation with Diego Simeone's men and hopes to continue to score important goals if he moves to the Spanish capital.
"I hope to triumph at Atletico," he told Marca. "I will arrive with all of the motivation I can muster to give everything I can.
"I'll be going to a great team with a great coach. I hope to show I have the productivity I have shown at Porto. Ambition wins titles and Atletico will help me become a better player."
Atletico finished third in La Liga last season, having beaten Barcelona and Real Madrid to the title in 2014 against all expectations.
