Álvaro Fernández Llorente (born 13 April 1998) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for La Liga club Sevilla.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Arnedo, La Rioja, Fernández was invited to play for Real Sociedad in several youth tournaments[3] before signing for CA Osasuna aged 15. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 12 April 2015, starting in a 1–1 away draw against CD Izarra in the Tercera División.

On 25 September 2016 Fernández made his La Liga debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for the injured Mario Fernández in a 3–1 loss at Villarreal CF.[4][5] It was his maiden appearance for the Osasuna first team, which suffered relegation as dead last.

On 11 July 2017, Fernández signed a three-year deal with Ligue 1 side AS Monaco FC.[6] After only appearing with the reserve team, he returned to Spain on 7 August 2018, after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Extremadura UD.[7]

On 29 June 2019, Fernández left Monaco and agreed to a three-year contract with SD Huesca, newly relegated to the second division.[8] He was a regular starter during the season as the club returned to the top tier at first attempt.

On 17 August 2021, Premier League club Brentford announced the signing of Fernández on a one year loan-deal, with the option to make the move permanent at the end of the 2021–22 season.[9] On 31 August of the following year, he moved to RCD Espanyol in the top tier, also in a temporary deal.[10]

On 13 August 2024, Fernández signed a one-year contract with Sevilla FC in the top tier.[11]

International career

[edit]

Fernández represented Spain at several youth levels up to the under-21s, being the starting goalkeeper in the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship[12] (a namesake in the same position, the slightly younger Álvaro Fernández Calvo, was also selected during the same period).[13][14]

Due to the isolation of some national team players following the positive COVID-19 test of Sergio Busquets, Spain's under-21 squad were called up for the senior team's international friendly against Lithuania on 8 June 2021.[15] Fernández made his senior debut in the match, which ended in a 4–0 win;[16] by doing so, he became the first Huesca player to appear for the Spain national team in the club's entire history.[17]
