Club career

Perspective
Benfica
Born in São Tomé, Fernandes started his youth career at SC Frielas in Portugal in 2008. A year later, he joined S.L. Benfica's youth system, where he progressed to the club's reserve team in 2017. On 11 February that year, he made his professional debut with Benfica B in a LigaPro 4–2 win over Desportivo das Aves.[4]
Following his promotion to Benfica's first team in the 2018–19 season, Fernandes debuted as a starter in a 1–0 home win over Fenerbahçe in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round on 7 August 2018. A week later, in the second leg away, he scored a 26th-minute opener in a 1–1 draw, which qualified Benfica to the competition's play-off round.[5][6]
Tottenham Hotspur (loan)
Fernandes signed on an 18-month loan for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur on 15 January 2020.[7] He made his Premier League debut coming on in the 80th minute away against Watford on 18 January, which ended 0–0.[8] Fernandes was recalled by Benfica on 1 February 2021.[9]
Galatasaray (loan)
In January 2021, Fernandes moved to Turkish club Galatasaray, on a loan deal until the end of the season.[10]
Beşiktaş
On 3 February 2022, Turkish club Beşiktaş announced a deal to purchase Fernandes. Since the club already had met their maximum quota of foreign players, his contract was made to start on 1 July 2022. Until then, Benfica loaned him to fellow Süper Lig club Çaykur Rizespor.[11][12]
On 13 September 2023, Fernandes extended his contract with Beşiktaş until the end of the 2026–27 season.[13]
