Club career

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]
