This positional adjustment occurred after he signed a lucrative contract in the summer.
However, Mendieta, who won the League Cup at the end of his playing career with Middlesbrough, believes the Manchester United favorite could be tempted to make an unexpected transfer to Barcelona.
The former midfielder, 51, thinks Fernandes would be greatly appreciated at the Nou Camp.
“In terms of talent, he has all the qualities needed for a player to thrive in LaLiga. It ultimately depends on how he feels about the situation.
“He’s the captain at Manchester United. Perhaps the fact that he’s not playing in a position he prefers could influence his decision.
“I don’t see why he couldn’t transition to LaLiga, especially to Barcelona.
“Players enjoy those challenges: different countries, different leagues, and winning trophies in various competitions. I’m sure it has crossed his mind many times.
“But again, it’s about ambition and his current circumstances. Just as I would love to see Vinicius Junior in the Premier League, I would love to see him in LaLiga.
“Barcelona fans would adore him, without a doubt. His character, both in terms of talent and personality.”
At Old Trafford, he remains a key player – but any potential transfer can only be activated by clubs outside the Premier League.
The ex-Sporting playmaker, 31, has contributed to seven goals in 14 appearances this season.
Fernandes, who has secured both the FA Cup and League Cup during his tenure, is set to play against West Ham on Thursday.
