HOW ACQUIRED: Traded from Vancouver on August 6, 2019. Re-signed on Jan. 25, 2021 for one season with a club option for 2022
Felipe has been a full-time starter every year of his MLS career since being brought into Montreal, and then again to New York by Jesse Marsch before getting traded to Vancouver prior to the 2018 season. He fits perfectly in the central midfield, with great athleticism to cover ground as he keeps the ball moving quickly. Felipe is looking to bounce back after ACL surgery last September.
OUTSIDE MLS: After growing up in an academy in Brazil, Felipe made his professional debut in Italy, where he also holds citizenship. He then spent four years in Switzerland splitting time between FC Winterthur, FC Lugano, and FC Wohlen before transferring to MLS.
NOTES: 2015 Supporters' Shield winner
