Born in Braga, Fernandes played as a youth for G.D. Adaúfe and S.C. Braga before joining Porto‘s academy in 2018.[1] In July 2021, after completing a season in the under-17 team, he signed his first professional contract, of three years’ length;[1] in April 2024, his deal was extended to 2028.[2]

On 24 February 2024, Fernandes made his senior debut in Liga Portugal 2, a 2–0 home loss for Porto B to nearby Leixões.[5] First-team manager Martín Anselmi called him up in the 28-man squad for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.[6]
