Martegani had played 18 matches and scored 3 goals during the 2022 season when he was left out by manager Rubén Darío Insúa for a match against Tigre in June 2022 following a transfer offer thought to be in the region of $4million from Flamengo.[7] San Lorenzo also reported an offer of €4million came in from Hellas Verona for his services which was rejected as insufficient.[8] [9] However, after no transfer was agreed Insua said he welcomed Martegani back into his squad for the remainder of 2022.[10]
