Novara

Born in Maia, Metropolitan Area of Porto, Fernandes played most of his youth football with local Boavista FC. On 27 August 2012, he joined Novara Calcio in Italy, where he completed his formation.

After only a few weeks with the youth sides, Fernandes was promoted to the first team in Serie B, still going on to appear in slightly more than half of the league games during the season to help his team to the fifth position and the promotion playoffs.

Udinese

In the 2013 summer, Fernandes signed for Udinese Calcio in a co-ownership deal. He made his debut in Serie A on 3 November, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–3 home loss against Inter Milan.

Fernandes scored his first league goal on 7 December 2013, contributing to a 3–3 draw at S.S.C. Napoli. He repeated the feat in the second match between the sides (1–1) having previously been acquired by the club in total on 30 January 2014.

Sampdoria

On 16 August 2016, Fernandes moved to U.C. Sampdoria on loan with an obligation to be signed permanently. He made his league debut 12 days later, playing six minutes in a 2–1 home win over Atalanta BC.

Fernandes scored his first goal for his new team on 26 September 2016, but in a 1–2 away loss to Cagliari Calcio. He managed a further four from 34 competitive appearances during the campaign, helping them to a final tenth position.

Sporting

On 27 June 2017, after returning from the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, Fernandes joined Sporting Clube de Portugal for five years in a reported fee of €8,5 million, plus bonuses and a buyout clause of €100 million. He scored four goals in his first five Primeira Liga games, including a brace in a 5–0 away win against Vitória de Guimarães.

Fernandes' first appearance in the UEFA Champions League group stage took place on 12 September 2017, when he put the visitors 3–0 ahead in the 43rd minute of an eventual 3–2 success at Olympiacos FC.

International career

Overlooked for Portugal senior selection during his spell in Italy, Fernandes was first called on 28 August 2017, replacing injured Pizzi for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Faroe Islands and Hungary to be held next month. He did not make his debut on either match, however.

Additionally, Fernandes represented the nation in the 2016 Summer Olympics. He started every game, as the team reached the quarter-finals.
