Jose then joined Deportivo Maldonado, from whom he embarked on a series of loan spells to Sao Paulo, Gremio, Santos, Real Madrid B, Real Madrid, Real Zaragoza and Las Palmas. He joined La Real in 2016.
The Basque club are currently sixth in La Liga, their form having fallen off a cliff after a lightning start. They’re currently trying to sign Fernandez in the hope of refreshing a squad that has European as well as domestic commitments.
