Club career

Born in Rubí, Barcelona, Fernández and Toni Fernández began their career at Espanyol, before making the switch to Barcelona in 2018.[2] In March 2022, following impressive performances for the club's Infantil A squad, he was promoted to the Cadet B team - playing with players a year older than himself - and marked his second appearance with a goal.[3] The following year, in August 2023, he was included in Barcelona's under-18 squad, despite only being fifteen, for their pre-season preparation.[4] He was given his debut in the UEFA Youth League by youth team manager Óscar López in September, becoming Barcelona's second-youngest player in the competition, behind Lamine Yamal.[5] Continuing his meteoric rise at Barcelona, Fernández was included in the first-team squad's training for the first time in October 2023, alongside fellow youth players Pau Cubarsí, Marc Guiu and Áron Yaakobishvili, due to the absence of a number of first-team players.[5][6]

International career

Fernández has represented Spain at under-15 level.[1]

Personal life

Fernández' cousin is fellow Barcelona player Toni Fernández, the pair's fathers are brothers and their mothers are sisters.[2]
