Martegani joined San Lorenzo in 2017 having played as a younger player with his local Club Atlético Argentino de Rojas.[3] He made his debut for San Lorenzo in the Copa Argentina against Club Sportivo Estudiantes on 22 May 2019.[4][5] On 11 October 2021 Martegani scored his first league goal with a left footed strike in a 2–1 victory over Club Atlético Colón.[6]

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]

On 25 August 2023, Martegani joined Italian club Salernitana on loan with an option to buy.[11]
