Esteban Maximiliano Martínez (born 21 June 1992) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder.[3]

Career

[edit]

Martínez's first senior career club became Gimnasia y Tiro in 2013, who he featured for during the 2012–13 Torneo Argentino A; making his debut against Guaraní Antonio Franco on 20 February.[3] Talleres of Torneo Argentino B signed Martínez six months later.[3] After two and a half years with the club, during which time he scored seventeen goals in fifty-four appearances, Martínez completed a move to fellow Torneo Federal B outfit Central Norte.[3][2] He remained for 2016, prior to sealing a return to Gimnasia for the 2016–17 Torneo Federal A.[4] A further move to Racing de Olavarría came in late-2017; along with one goal in twenty.[2]

In January 2018, Martínez joined Bolivian Primera División side Real Potosí.[3] His first appearance in professional football came on 11 March versus Universitario de Sucre, playing the final twenty-three minutes of a 3–1 defeat.[3] In total, he was selected five times for Real Potosí.[3][5][6] The following June saw Martínez arrive back in Argentina after agreeing to join Torneo Federal A's Sarmiento.[3][7] Martínez moved back to Bolivian football with Independiente Petrolero in January 2019.[8][9] In 2020, Martínez went to El Salvador with Chalatenango.[3] He debuted in a loss to Jocoro in February, which was one of four matches for them.[3]

Martínez terminated his contract at the end of April, after experiencing many issues; including withheld wages and lack of action due to new ownership.[10] He was also stranded in El Salvador during the COVID-19 pandemic, a period in which Chalatenango made him and teammate Marcos González depart their club apartment; having paid them their wages.[11] Martínez ended up leaving the country via a plane made available by the Argentine government, flying from Comalapa to Buenos Aires before undertaking a 1400 km+ bus journey from the capital to his hometown; he was unable to leave the bus due to COVID-19 protocols.[12][1]
