Dating & Relationship Status
Publicly available sources do not provide detailed information about Lautaro Martínez's current dating or relationship status, as he tends to keep his private life away from the media spotlight.
He followed in his father's footsteps to become a professional footballer, joining local side Liniers, with whom he excelled at U–17 level. In 2013, he scored 13 goals in the U–17 league and netted in the final of the National Cup, though Liniers ultimately lost on penalties to Rosario.
Martínez's form at youth level caught the attention of Racing Club interim coach Fabio Radaelli who subsequently signed him in January 2014. Soon after joining the club, Martínez began suffering from homesickness and wanted to return to his hometown. He was ultimately convinced by teammate Braian Mansilla to stay and went on to score 53 goals in 64 appearances for the club's reserve side. In 2015, a deal was concluded between Racing Club and Spanish side Real Madrid for Martínez's signature but he chose to remain in Argentina. Martínez's father, Mario later revealed that he chose to stay with Racing at the time as he was not ready to leave the club. His league debut followed on 1 November 2015 when he came on as a second-half substitute for Diego Milito in a 3–0 win over Crucero del Norte. On 17 April 2016, he was sent off for the first time in his career after picking up two bookings in the space of five minutes in a 2–2 draw with Argentinos. He scored his first goal later that year, netting the opener in a 1–1 draw with Huracán in November.
Since 2016, Martínez has been in a relationship with Agustina Gandolfo, an Argentine entrepreneur and fitness trainer. On 27 May 2023, they got married in Villa d'Este on Lake Como, Italy.

Summary of Achievements and Career Highlights
Lautaro Martínez’s career trajectory continues upward as he consolidates his leadership status both at Inter Milan and in the Argentina national squad, making him one of the foremost football talents worldwide today.
Martínez began his senior career with Primera División side Racing Club before signing with Inter Milan in 2018 in a transfer worth €22.7 million. He has gone onto win two Serie A titles, two Coppa Italias, and reached the 2020 UEFA Europa League and the 2023 and 2025 UEFA Champions League finals. He has also won Serie A Most Valuable Player once and finished as league top-scorer for the 2023–24 season. Martínez ranks as Inter Milan's sixth-highest all-time top goalscorer.
Martínez initially played as a defender in his youth and later switched to a forward, citing Radamel Falcao as one of his influences. A quick and agile player, he is known for his dribbling skills, his prolific goalscoring, his positioning in the box, and his physical strength and aerial prowess despite not being particularly tall; however, he has been criticised by pundits for his lack of accuracy when taking penalties. He also possesses good link-up play and defensive work-rate, and is capable of assisting goals in addition to scoring goals himself; because of this, he can also play as a second striker, aside from his usual role as a striker.
Education
