Martinez arrives at Chelsea as one of the most recognisable figures in Argentina's national team setup. He was part of the side that won the World Cup in 2022 and later finished as runners-up in 2026.

His move is notable both because of his standing with the national team and because it brings an experienced goalkeeper into Chelsea's squad on a multi-year agreement.
