The deal is understood to be close to completion, with the clubs reaching an agreement over the transfer fee.
The proposed transfer will see Martínez join Chelsea on a permanent basis for a fee worth £7.5 million.
The goalkeeper has already given his approval to the move, paving the way for negotiations between the two clubs to progress rapidly.
Martínez gave the green light to Chelsea on Wednesday, signalling his desire to join the London club and begin a new chapter in his career.
His decision came after Chelsea made their interest clear and opened discussions over a potential deal.
According to @TeleFootball, Chelsea and Aston Villa have now agreed the financial terms, with the club-to-club agreement reached today.
The development leaves the Blues in a strong position to complete the signing before the transfer window closes.

Chelsea now appear to have won the race for his signature, with Martínez expected to complete the remaining formalities before officially becoming a Chelsea player.
