Club career

In July 2019, Defensa y Justicia completed the loan signing of Martínez.[5] Across the next twelve months, the centre-back made twenty league appearances and scored two goals; against Godoy Cruz and Patronato.[1] He also made appearances in the Copa Argentina and Copa Libertadores.[1] Defensa extended his loan in April 2020, prior to signing him permanently in the succeeding August.[6][7][8]

International career

Born in Argentina, Martínez is of Paraguayan descent through his mother. Martínez represented the Argentina U17s at both the 2015 South American U-17 Championship and 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup; winning six caps.[1][9] He was called up to represent the senior Paraguay national team in June 2021.[10] He debuted with Paraguay in a 3–1 2021 Copa América win over Bolivia on 14 June 2021.[11]
