Club career
[edit]Málaga
[edit]Born in Puente Genil, Córdoba, Andalusia, Fernández represented Puente Genil FC, Córdoba CF, Sevilla FC and Málaga CF as a youth.[1] On 4 December 2020, while still a youth, he renewed his contract with the latter side until 2024.[2]
On 16 August 2021, before even having appeared for the reserves, Fernández made his first-team debut by starting in a 0–0 home draw against CD Mirandés in the Segunda División.[3] He scored his first professional goal six days later, netting the equalizer in a 2–2 away draw against UD Ibiza.
On 22 July 2022, Fernández joined FC Barcelona on a one-year loan deal, being initially assigned to the reserves in Primera Federación.[4] Upon returning, he became an undisputed starter for the club, scoring 20 goals overall during the campaign as Málaga returned to the second division at first attempt.
Braga
[edit]On 9 July 2024, Fernández moved abroad for the first time in his career and signed a five-year contract with Primeira Liga side SC Braga, for a fee of € 1.8 million plus 1.2 million on variables.[5]
