Kenny Dalglish was sacked as Reds boss on Wednesday, leaving the club to search for a fourth boss in two years.
"Liverpool rang us and asked for permission to speak to Roberto, which I've given," Whelan told BBC Sport.The Anfield hierarchy are approaching a number of candidates, with Swansea's Brendan Rodgers also on the shortlist.
Whelan said he hoped Martinez would choose to stay at the DW Stadium but understands the Spaniard's popularity.
"I'd love to keep him but if he wants to move to Liverpool I will have to say good luck," he explained.
