The Portuguese primarily functions as a central midfielder, but can also play as an attacking midfielder if asked to do so. However, only time will tell if he can repeat his good form in League if Los Blancos manage to sign him next year.
We can expect Fernandes to bring more quality and depth to Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso's midfield. He is more than capable of securing a regular place in Madrid's starting line-up in the coming years.
At 31, Fernandes has his prime years ahead of him, making him a good option for the Madrid giants to pursue in January this year or at the end of this campaign. However, Alonso will need to be given some time to adjust to life in the Spanish capital before he can make the most of the experienced playmaker.
