Leandro Antonio Martínez (born 15 October 1989) is an Argentine-Italian footballer who most recently played as a forward for Borgo San Donnino FC.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Martínez moved to Italy in 2003.[1] He was a member of Parma's Primavera under-20 team.[2] At age 18, he was offered a professional contract of reported 5-year[3] (or 3+2 years, as N.O.I.F. of FIGC only allowed a maximum of 3-year for Italians "young professional"[4]). He made his Serie A debut on 27 April 2008, replaced Cristiano Lucarelli at 2nd half, at that time Parma already losing to Reggina 1–2. His primavera team-mate Aleksandar Prijović also substituted Daniele Dessena on that match, and Parma eventually 1–2 lost with Reggina.[5] Parma relegated to Serie B in June and Martínez was loaned to Ternana in August 2008.[6] He failed to make his club debut and left the club[7] for Carpenedolo in January 2009. On 1 September 2009 he left for South Tyrol[8] but in December 2009 returned to Parma for family reason.[9] In January 2010 he left for Swiss 1. Liga side Biaschesi.
On 12 July 2010, he was signed by Serie B side AlbinoLeffe[10] for free.[11] Since AlbinoLeffe had lost Francesco Ruopolo and Marco Cellini, Martínez formed a new striking line with Karamoko Cissé and Omar Torri, who played as backup players for AlbinoLeffe in the last season. The latter 2 scored 3 goals in the opening match, making AlbinoLeffe won fellow Serie B club Pescara 3–1 in Coppa Italia.[12] However, Martínez soon dropped from starting line-up.
Martínez did not play any game in 2011–12 Serie B and followed by the club relegation and heavy fine due to 2011 Italian football scandal, Martínez was signed by Cremonese in August 2012.[13]
On 31 January 2013 his contract was terminated in a mutual consent and moved to Hungarian side Budapest Honvéd on the same day. He was presented on 1 February.[1] After spending five months at the club he joined defending champion Győri ETO.[14]
On 20 January 2015 he moved to Haladás.[15] He left the club in December 2017.[16]
After one month and a half at Talleres de Remedios de Escalada in Argentina, Italien club GS Felino announced on 29 October 2019, that he had joined the club.[17] Leandros brother, Emanuel, was also playing for Felino and as of Leandro's Instagram page, he also worked as a youth coach at the club.[18]
On 12 December 2019, Martínez joined Borgo San Donnino FC alongside his brother, Emanuel.[19]
Martínez made his U20 debut on 10 September 2008 against Switzerland U20, a 2008–09 Four Nations Tournament match.
