In the 2014–15 season, he finished the campaign as the league's top scorer with 22 goals.[4] He also netted on 22 May 2015 as Bursaspor came from behind to win their Turkish Cup semi-final against Fenerbahçe at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium.[5] Twelve days later as they hosted the final against league champions Galatasaray, Fernandão opened the scoring after Alex Telles conceded a penalty in the 25th minute, but Bursaspor lost 3–2.[6]

On June 25 2015, Fenerbahçe agreed to sign Fernandão on a four-year deal.[7] On July 28, he made his club debut against Shakhtar Donetsk on a UEFA Champions League qualifying play-off stage.
