Martim Moreira Moutinho Fernandes (born 18 January 2006) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Primeira Liga club Porto.
Born in Valongo, Porto District, Fernandes joined FC Porto's academy aged 11. [2] On 18 January 2022, his 16th birthday, he signed his first professional contract. [3]
Fernandes made his senior debut with the B team on 7 August 2022, starting a 1–0 Liga Portugal 2 home loss against S.C. Covilhã, and at 16 years and six months became their youngest ever debutant in the division, breaking Rui Pedro's record by four months. [2] On 28 September 2023, he was named Porto's Young Athlete of the Year [4] and, the following month, was included in The Guardian's: Next Generation 2023 list of outstanding talents. [5]
On 20 October 2023, Fernandes played his first competitive match with the main squad, as a 73rd-minute replacement for João Mário in the 2–0 away win over GD Vilar de Perdizes in the third round of the Taça de Portugal. [6] [7] He scored his first professional goal on 17 March 2024, helping Porto's reserves to a 1–1 draw at C.D. Feirense. [8]
With starting right-back João Mário injured, Fernandes was surprisingly picked by manager Sérgio Conceição for an important match against rivals Sporting CP on 29 April 2024; in the 40th minute of his Primeira Liga bow, he made a long run forward and assisted Pepê for Porto's second goal, but the hosts eventually conceded a 2–2 draw. [9] [10] He went on to start the remaining three league matches of the season, [11] [12] [13] being a used substitute in the Portuguese Cup final, a 2–1 victory over the same opposition. [14]
Fernandes was part of the Portugal under-17 squad at the 2019 UEFA European Championship. [15] He then represented the under-19s in the 2023 European Championship, where they finished runners-up; in the final against Italy, he had a second-half chance to equalise Michael Kayode's winner, but Davide Mastrantonio saved it to keep the score at 1–0.
