Career
editRed Bull Brasil / Red Bull Bragantino
editBorn in Santos, São Paulo, Phelipe represented the youth sides of Santos and Portuguesa Santista before joining Red Bull Brasil in 2016.[1] He made his senior debut for the latter club on 22 September 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute and scoring in a 3–1 home win over Desportivo Brasil in the Copa Paulista.[2][3]
Phelipe became a Red Bull Bragantino player when Red Bull Brasil merged with Clube Atlético Bragantino in April 2019.[4] He made his Série B debut on 18 May, replacing Barreto late into a 0–1 away loss to Londrina.[5] Phelipe featured in just one further match for Bragantino during the campaign, as his side achieved Série A promotion as champions.
Red Bull Salzburg
editOn 18 July 2019, Austrian team Red Bull Salzburg announced the signing of Phelipe on a five-year contract.[6]
Various loans
editPhelipe was immediately sent on loan to Liefering for the 2019–20 season,[7] being used mainly as a substitute and scoring four goals as the club finished third in the 2. Liga. In August 2020, he returned to his former side Red Bull Bragantino on loan for one year.[8] He made his Série A debut on the 19th that month, replacing Morato and scoring the winner in a 2–1 home success over Fluminense.[9]
Phelipe however did not establish himself on his return at Bragantino, and on 28 July 2021 moved to Swiss Super League club Lugano on another one-year loan deal, joining several compatriots including manager Abel Braga.[10] He was very rarely used after Mattia Croci-Torti replaced Braga, and on 11 February 2022 Lugano announced the early termination of Phelipe's loan.[11] The next day, Red Bull Salzburg also terminated his deal.[12]
Atlético Goianiense
editPhelipe joined Série A club Atlético Goianiense as a free agent on 1 March 2022.[13] He only made two appearances for the Dragão, both in the state league.
Various loans
editOn 14 April 2022, Phelipe was loaned out to Náutico in the second division.[14] In the first half of 2023, he represented in quick succession Botafogo and Paysandu, also on loan.
Politehnica Iași
editOn 29 June 2023, Phelipe signed a two-year deal with Romanian side Politehnica Iași, newly promoted to the Liga I.[15] He scored his first goals on 30 July, his double helping to a 3–1 away league win over defending champion Farul Constanța.[16]
FCSB
editOn 8 December 2023, Iași chairman Cornel Șfaițer announced that Phelipe would be transferred to fellow league club FCSB for €200,000 and 20% interest when the winter transfer window opens.[17] The move was confirmed by FCSB on 24 December.[18]
Style of play
editPhelipe excels as an attacking midfielder and is versatile enough to play various offensive positions, including as a main striker. However, his preferred role is on the wing. Known for his technical skills, he can easily beat opponents one-on-one and disrupt defenses with his precise passing. His delicate frame makes him a frequent target for tackles, sometimes taking him out of play. Additionally, Phelipe finds it more challenging to assist in defense when playing on the wing compared to a central position.[19]
Personal life
editPhelipe is married and has one child.[19]
