Importantly, Martin is a product of the Real Madrid youth academy, where he has been recognized as one of the club’s promising midfield talents.
He made his senior debut for Real Madrid in January 2023, coming on as a substitute in extra time during a Copa del Rey match against Atletico Madrid, which ended in a 3-1 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.
To secure more regular playing time, Martin initially went on loan to Real Valladolid for one season in 2024 after the club’s relegation. He then transferred to Getafe on another loan, which has proven fruitful for both the player and the team.
As a result, Martin has become an integral part of Getafe’s midfield, demonstrating performances that have led the club’s management to believe he deserves a permanent position in the squad.
