Born in Montevideo, Martínez joined Liverpool Montevideo's youth setup at the age of 12, after playing for Zorzal Baby Fútbol Club and Club Las Flores Baby Fútbol.[1] He made his first team – and Primera División – debut on 13 February 2016, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Plaza Colonia.
Martínez only established himself as a starter in the 2017 campaign, and scored his first senior goal on 26 August of that year, netting the opener in a 1–2 loss at Peñarol. On 26 November, he scored a brace in a 5–0 home routing of Danubio.
On 4 May 2019, Martínez scored a hat-trick in a 4–0 away win over Boston River. The following 30 January, he moved abroad and joined Argentine Primera División side Rosario Central on loan,[2] after the club bought 30% of his economic rights for a rumoured fee of US$750,000.[3]
In September 2020, after only two matches for Central, Martínez moved to Independiente on loan until the following 31 January, with a buyout option.[4] After featuring rarely, he rescinded his contract with the Rojo on 19 February 2021 and returned to his parent club.[5]
In 2024, Martínez moved to Chile and joined Primera División club Everton on a one-year loan from Mexican club León.[6]
