Life and career

[edit]

Fernández was born in Buenos Aires in 1995.[1] His older brother Juan Manuel Fernández also became a footballer.[3]

Fernández came through the youth system of the club he supported, All Boys,[4] and made his senior debut on June 20, 2013, in the last 16 of the 2012–13 Copa Argentina, replacing Ivan Borghello after 81 minutes of a 3–1 win against Boca Juniors. His first Primera División appearance was also as a second-half substitute, in the final match of the 2012–13 season, a 4–0 defeat away to Arsenal de Sarandí.[5] He played four times in the 2013–14 season, at the end of which All Boys were relegated, but appeared more frequently in the 2014 Primera B Nacional.[5]

A proposed move to Primera club Olimpo de Bahía Blanca in January 2015 fell through when All Boys asked too high a fee.[6] As Fernández established himself as a major player for All Boys, so the transfer rumours continued. In July 2015, a move to another Primera club, Independiente, seemed well on the way to completion.[7][8] Still only 20 years old, Fernández captained All Boys in the 2016 season.[9]

In June 2016, All Boys sold 80% of his economic rights to Olimpo. He had played 78 matches for the club in all competitions, and scored 3 goals.[9] The player said the offer had come at the right time for him: although he loved All Boys and was grateful for their role in shaping him as a person as well as a player, he wanted to play at a higher level and his sale had brought much-needed finance into the club.[10] He played little for Olimpo's first team – 12 appearances in the Primera, of which 7 starts – before he moved on again.[11]

Needing to replace Agustín Farías, their captain who was moving to Europe,[11] Chilean Primera División club Palestino signed Fernández on a six-month loan in June 2017;[11] the deal included options to extend the loan for a further year or to purchase.[12]

In 2025, Fernández returned to Palestino from Brazilian club Sport Recife.[13]
