On 17 December 2018, Fernández moved abroad and signed for Paraguayan Primera División side Guaraní, on loan for one year.[4] An immediate first-choice, he scored his first professional goal on 4 October 2019, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against Libertad.[5]

In November 2019, Fernández stated his interest on remaining at the club for the following season,[6] and Guaraní announced the permanent contract of Fernández until 2022 in December, after buying 50% of his economic rights.[7]
