Antonio "Toni" Fernández Casino (born 15 July 2008) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward or winger for Venezia.

Club career

Born in Rubí, Barcelona, Catalonia,[2] Fernández joined the youth academy of Spanish La Liga side Barcelona. He was "considered one of the most promising talents at Barcelona" while playing for the club. In September and October 2024, Fernández was included in senior team's squad for several La Liga and UEFA Champions League games, but remained on the bench in all of them.[3] On 4 January 2025, Fernández made his senior debut for Barcelona in a 4–0 away win over Barbastro in the Copa del Rey, becoming the second youngest player to debut for the club at age 16 years and 173 days, only behind his teammate Lamine Yamal.[4] On 4 August, during Barcelona’s pre-season tour, Fernández scored in a 5-0 away win against South Korean side Daegu FC. Later that year, on 18 October, he made his La Liga debut, starting in a 2–1 victory over Girona.[5] In 2026, he moves to Venezia for €4 million, with a 50% sell-on clause and a buy-back clause.

Style of play

Fernández is primarily a forward or winger, a left-footed attacker known for his speed, mobility, and technical skill. He exhibits versatility across the attacking line, able to play as a winger, centre-forward, and even a false nine.[6]

Personal life

Fernández's cousin is fellow Barcelona player Guille Fernández; the pair's fathers are brothers and their mothers are sisters. [7]
