Club career

Danubio

Born in Montevideo, Fernández was a Danubio youth graduate, having joined their youth setup in 2009.[1] He made his first team – and Primera División – debut on 3 September 2016, starting in a 1–2 away loss against Rampla Juniors.[2] The following 9 August, after already establishing himself as a starter, he renewed his contract with the club.[3]

Guaraní

On 17 December 2018, Fernández moved abroad and signed for Paraguayan Primera División side Guaraní, on loan for one year.[4] An immediate first-choice, he scored his first professional goal on 4 October 2019, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against Libertad.[5]

In November 2019, Fernández stated his interest on remaining at the club for the following season,[6] and Guaraní announced the permanent contract of Fernández until 2022 in December, after buying 50% of his economic rights.[7]

Loan to Santos

On 29 March 2022, Fernández agreed to a loan deal with Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Santos until the end of the year, with a buyout clause.[8] He made his debut on 5 April, starting in a 0–1 Copa Sudamericana away loss against Banfield.[9]
