As an academy graduate of River Plate, Fernández made his first-team debut for the club in 2019, before spending two seasons on loan with Defensa y Justicia. There, he enjoyed a successful campaign which culminated in him winning the Copa Sudamericana and Recopa Sudamericana, before returning to River Plate in 2021. Following his return, Fernández established himself as an integral player for the club, and won the 2021 Argentine Primera División. He joined Portuguese Primeira Liga side Benfica in the summer of 2022. Having played only six months for Benfica, he was purchased by Premier League club Chelsea in January 2023 for a British-record transfer fee.

An Argentine international, Fernández previously represented his country at under-18 level before making his senior international debut. He represented Argentina at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, playing an important role in helping his country win their third title, while also winning the tournament's Young Player Award.

On 31 October 2024, Cervantes announced on her Instagram story that her and Fernandez were separating, writing (translated from Spanish) "Enzo and I have decided to take some distance from each other today. But we will always be family, and we will support each other in everything. Because there are two children involved who need a lot of love from us. I know the person Enzo is and what an excellent father he is, as well as the heart he has. And that is enough for me. Please don't try to create conflicts where there are none."

Argentinian journalist Julieta Argenta provided further details on the split claiming “He told her he wants to live life on his own. They're still family, but he feels the need to experience the stage he skipped by choosing family early on."

On 11 September 2024, Fernandez was disqualified from driving for 6 months, receiving a 12-point penalty and being fined £3,020 following two driving offences committed in Wales in November and December 2023 by the driver of a Porsche Cayenne which Fernandez was registered as the owner of.

In July 2024, following Argentina's Copa América triumph, a video showing Fernández and other Argentinian players chanting alleged racist chants about the origin of France national team players on the team bus surfaced, which led to outrage and criticism from the French Football Federation (FFF) and French sports minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra. Several of Fernández's French teammates at Chelsea proceeded to unfollow him on Instagram and made posts on Twitter showing their anger, which led to Fernández apologising through Instagram. The FFF lodged a complaint to FIFA about the remarks, while Chelsea announced that it had "instigated an internal disciplinary procedure". After offering a private apology to his Chelsea teammates and a donation to an anti-discrimination charity, Chelsea announced that they would not be taking any disciplinary actions against Fernández.

A driver of the car was allegedly caught speeding on Carmarthen Road, Swansea on December 20, by South Wales Police and running a red light on Church Street, Llanelli on November 28 by Dyfed-Powys Police. Both police forces sent court papers to Fernandez’s home address in Kingston-Upon-Thames and Chelsea’s training ground in Stoke D'Abernon, Surrey to identify the driver of the Porsche but Fernandez failed to appear for the hearings at Llanelli Magistrates' Court.

Fernandez was charged £1,000 and £110 in police costs for the offence in Llanelli and a further £1,000 charge, £800 victim surcharge and £110 in police costs for the offence in Swansea. Fernandez received 12 penalty points (6 for each offence), which on top of 9 existing penalty points for speeding led to a 6 month ban from driving ... (more)
