The 19-year-old, who was born in Laredo, will join Real Madrid Castilla and could also train with the first team. Martínez has agreed a contract with the Madrid club until 2030.
The Cantabrian midfielder made his first-division debut this season, scoring after helping Racing secure promotion from the second tier. The transfer was finalized through payment of the clause, as confirmed by Racing in an official statement:

Madrid nightlife has once again drawn attention after actress Ester Expósito and Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé were seen walking hand in hand and dining together in the Spanish capital.
The evening began with a stroll through Madrid before the pair headed to a well-known restaurant for dinner. Their relaxed manner and apparent closeness quickly attracted attention, particularly because their public appearances have previously been marked by discretion.
Expósito and Mbappé entered the restaurant together several hours after beginning their walk. They later left in the same way, walking hand in hand and appearing comfortable in each other’s company.
The latest images have fuelled speculation about a relationship that neither of them has publicly confirmed. Rather than featuring grand gestures or carefully staged appearances, the outing drew interest because of its everyday atmosphere and the natural way the two appeared together.
Ester Expósito rose to fame through her work in television and film, while her personal life has attracted almost as much public interest as her career. Mbappé’s presence alongside the actress has added further attention to the developing story.
For now, neither Expósito nor Mbappé has put an official label on their relationship. Although their appearances together suggest growing closeness, confirmation still rests with the two of them.
Mbappé, a well-known admirer of Cristiano Ronaldo, also recently reacted to the Portuguese football star’s wedding to Georgina Rodríguez.
When asked about the wedding, the Real Madrid forward said: “The best for them,”
The interviewer then shifted the conversation towards Mbappé’s own personal life and asked: “Will you be next?”
Mbappé remained silent for several seconds and chose not to provide further details. Without commenting on the possibility, he continued towards his SUV, leaving the question unanswered.
Meanwhile, interest in Ester Expósito and Kylian Mbappé continues to grow. Their hand-in-hand walks, shared dinners and apparent mutual understanding have intensified speculation about what could become a new chapter for the actress and the footballer.

Real Madrid have made a strong start to the summer transfer window, completing six major signings to reinforce their first-team squad. Among the arrivals are Bernardo Silva, Ibrahima Konate, Carlos Espi, Denzel Dumfries and Marc Cucurella, alongside club-record signing Yan Diomande.
The Spanish giants signed the 19-year-old winger from RB Leipzig for a reported €140 million, including add-ons, making Diomande the most expensive acquisition in Real Madrid’s history.
Nathan Campbell, Yan Diomande’s representative, discussed the Ivorian’s move to Real Madrid with El Chiringuito (h/t Defensa Central). He said the teenager is fulfilling a lifelong dream and never hesitated once Real Madrid expressed interest.
Campbell, one of Roc Nation’s agents, also outlined Diomande’s ambitions at the Santiago Bernabeu: winning trophies with Real Madrid and eventually claiming the Ballon d’Or.
“I’m excited and proud, and Yan Diomande is on his way to showing Real Madrid why they paid that amount for him,” said Campbell.
Diomande had no doubts about his preferred destination once Real Madrid entered the race.
“As soon as he knew that Real Madrid were interested, as I’ve said several times, he said he wanted to go to Real Madrid and that it was his dream. There were no doubts and no questions,” he explained.
Several leading European clubs were reportedly interested in signing the winger, including Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain. However, Real Madrid’s appeal proved decisive.
“From the beginning, we knew that Real Madrid wanted him and although, obviously, there was interest from other teams, English clubs such as Liverpool, and also PSG…,” he said.
“Once Real Madrid sat down at our table, it was a pleasure to close the deal,” Campbell revealed.
Diomande’s goals extend beyond collective success. His immediate ambition is to win the Golden Boy award, while his long-term objective is to become a Ballon d’Or winner.
“He doesn’t feel any pressure. He’s ready to start playing and achieve his goals, which are to win trophies with Real Madrid and eventually win some individual awards.
“Hopefully the Golden Boy this year, and in the future the Ballon d’Or is what he aspires to win,” he said.
The winger has arrived at Real Madrid with a low-key attitude and a determination to work hard and earn his place in the team. At the same time, he has set hugely ambitious targets for his career.
Diomande ultimately wants to become a leader of Real Madrid’s attack and establish himself among football’s elite. There is already significant excitement surrounding the Ivorian, and once Jose Mourinho considers him fully match-fit, the club-record signing is expected to challenge for a regular starting role.
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has backed Kylian Mbappe to win this year’s Ballon d’Or, saying the award should honour the world’s best individual player rather than simply reward Champions League or World Cup success.
Mourinho highlighted Mbappe’s individual achievements this summer, including the France captain’s rise to become the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history.
