Argentina were without the likes of Lionel Messi on Friday, but the reigning world champions dug deep to see off Uruguay in Montevideo.
Martinez has been tipped to swap Serie A side Inter for LaLiga champions Barca in the off-season following his exploits in Italy.
The Argentina international forward scored 16 goals in 31 matches across all competitions before the 2019-20 season was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.
As speculation grows over Martinez's future, Argentina head coach Scaloni discussed the 22-year-old.
"If he plays with Messi he is better, no doubt. Beyond that later he will have to fight for the position as he did in Inter," Scaloni told TyC Sports.
"We have to be calm. If he changes clubs, maybe he does not have to be the undisputed starter, and it will not affect us, as long as he has a number of minutes that allows him to be in force.
"He has a huge future but still has a lot to give."
With Martinez dominating headlines, Scaloni issued a reminder about Sergio Aguero's exploits for Argentina and Manchester City.
Aguero is City's all-time top scorer as he celebrated his 32nd birthday on Tuesday, while he is third on Argentina's overall goals list with 41.
"Talking so much about Lautaro, it is Sergio who is breaking all the records," added Scaloni. "That is why you have to go calmly and wait for the moment of each one."
Martinez, 22, is reportedly being chased by Barca after scoring 16 goals in 31 games for Inter this season.
The 1960 Ballon d'Or winner, Suarez moved in the opposite direction during his playing career, leaving Barca for Inter in 1961.
The former Spain international said if he was in Martinez's position, he would stay at San Siro.
"If I were him, I wouldn't change teams," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport on Wednesday.
"Making a decision on whether to stay or not is very complicated, although if [Lionel] Messi called him then it would be easy to think about it.
"However, we're talking about a boy who is still very young, and he has all the time in the world to go for other challenges in the future."
Martinez could reunite with Messi at Barcelona, with the pair playing alongside each other for Argentina.
But Suarez reminded Martinez just where he would stand if he decided to leave Inter.
"Let's say the truth, he would have less prominence in Spain than he does at Inter," he said.
"I want to give [Lautaro] some advice – stay where you are."
Martinez is reportedly Barca's prime transfer target as the LaLiga champions look to sign a long-term replacement for veteran forward Luis Suarez.
Also linked to Real Madrid and Manchester City, Martinez had scored 16 goals in 31 games across all competitions before the coronavirus pandemic brought sport to a standstill.
Zanetti was asked about Martinez during an Instagram Live session with former Inter striker Christian Vieri and he said: "I will be sincere. When we took him, we knew he was one of Argentina's most promising young men.
"Now with the work of [head coach Antonio] Conte, at just 22 years old, he can give a lot. Right now here, with everything that is happening, we are not thinking about what he will do.
"Then we'll see, but now I see him very happy here at Inter. And with Lukaku he is great."
Martinez swapped Racing Club for Inter in 2018 and he has quickly established himself as one of the most sought-after forwards in European football.
The Argentina international has scored 25 goals in total since joining Inter from Racing Club.
