The 25-year-old has made the move to the Etihad armed with a formidable reputation for being one of the most complete and talented midfielders operating in the world game.
A World Cup and Copa America winner in 2022 and 2024 respectively with Argentina, Fernández also boasts a wealth of elite level club experience both in his native Argentina with River Plate and Defensa y Justicia and more latterly in Europe with Benfica and Chelsea.
Now he’s set to play his part in helping Enzo Maresca’s new-look City squad push for success.
