Fernando Andrade dos Santos, sometimes known as just Fernando (born 8 January 1993) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward for Turkish club Sakaryaspor.

Career

Early career

Andrade made his professional debut for São Caetano on 24 March 2012, in the Campeonato Paulista, coming off the bench at half-time to replace Isael in a 1–0 home defeat to Catanduvense.[1]

In August 2012, São Caetano sent Andrade on loan to J1 League club Vissel Kobe, where he struggled for game time.[2]

After returning from loan, Andrade played in Brazil's state championships for Grêmio Anápolis, Guarani and Rio Branco.

Move to Portugal

On 8 July 2015, Andrade moved to Portugal, signing a two-year contract with LigaPro side Oriental de Lisboa.[3]

On 6 July 2016, following Oriental's relegation to the Campeonato de Portugal, Andrade stayed in the Portuguese second division, signing a one-year contract with Penafiel.[4]

On 22 June 2017, Andrade signed a two-year contract with fellow Liga Pro club Santa Clara.[5] In his debut season, he scored 11 goals in 36 league appearances, helping the Azores-based side finish second, achieving promotion to the Primeira Liga.[6] The following season, Andrade started the campaign with 4 goals in 15 appearances in all competitions.[7]

Porto

On 4 January 2019, Andrade joined Portuguese giants FC Porto, signing a contract until the summer of 2023,[8] for a reported fee of €1.5 million.[9] Three days later, he made his debut for the club, replacing Moussa Marega in the final minutes of a 3–1 victory over Nacional at the Estádio do Dragão.[10] On 22 January, in the semi-finals of the Taça da Liga, Andrade scored Porto's third goal in a 3–1 victory over rivals Benfica.[11] Four days later, in the tournament's final against rivals Sporting CP, he scored the opener in the 79th minute; however, Sporting went on to tie the match in stoppage time and beat the Dragons in a penalty shootout.[12] On 25 May 2019, in the final of the Taça de Portugal, also against Sporting CP, Andrade replaced Alex Telles during extra-time; when the game went to penalties after a 2–2 draw, he missed his penalty kick, leading to Porto's defeat.[13]

Loans

On 9 August 2019, Porto sent Andrade on a season-long loan to Süper Lig club Sivasspor,[14] where he scored 7 goals and provided 2 assists in 29 appearances in all competitions.[15]

On 2 October 2020, Andrade was sent on another season-long loan to Turkey, this time to Çaykur Rizespor, also competing in the Süper Lig,[16] where he scored 2 goals in 30 appearances in all competitions.[17]

On 7 August 2021, Porto sent Andrade on a season-long loan to Saudi Pro League side Al Fayha,[18] with the Saudi club paying a €250.000 loan fee and keeping a €1 million option-to-buy.[19] However, four days later, in his debut, he suffered a serious knee injury. Andrade chose to underwent surgery and spend his recovery time at Porto.[20]

Return to Porto

On 31 January 2022, still recovering from his knee injury, Andrade's loan to Al Fayha was cancelled and Porto registered him in their league squad.[21]

On 20 March, after seven months on the sidelines, Andrade started for Porto's B team in a 2–2 draw in the Liga Portugal 2 at home to Estrela da Amadora.[22]

On 14 May 2022, after FC Porto had already been crowned Primeira Liga champions the previous week, manager Sérgio Conceição gave Andrade a chance of playing in the league's final match, at home to Estoril, so he could receive a league medal; the Brazilian came on as a substitute in the 85th minute and scored just three minutes later, sealing a 2–0 Porto victory.[23]

During the 2022–23, Andrade didn't play a singe minute for either Porto or Porto B, only making the bench for the former once, being an unused substitute in a 1–0 home victory over Rio Ave.[24]

Casa Pia

On 1 July 2023, after his contract with Porto had expired, Andrade signed a two-year deal with Primeira Liga club Casa Pia.[25] [26]
