Flamengo

Early career

At Flamengo Felipe had a successful youth career, peaking with the title of the 2016 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, the most important youth tournament in Brazil. Felipe became one of the most important players in the championship campaign being selected as the highlight player of the tournament.[1][2]

2016 season

Vizeu debuted in the professional team on 10 February 2016 in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro State League 5-0 win against Portuguesa (RJ).[3] Few days later on February 24 he scored his first goal for Flamengo in a 1-0 win over Cabofriense also for the 2016 Rio State League.

On March 2016 Felipe has been promoted to the professional squad due to the transfer of Kayke to Yokohama F. Marinos leaving the club with only Paolo Guerrero to play as striker.[4]

Felipe played his first Série A match and also scored his first goal in a 2-2 draw against Chapecoense on 25 May 2016 at Estádio Raulino de Oliveira.[5] He finished his first season with 15 Série A appearances and 5 goals.

2017 season

Vizeu scored his first goal in a continental competition on 9 August 2017 in the 5-0 win against Palestino for the second round of the 2017 Copa Sudamericana.[6] He scored again in the quarterfinals second leg 3-3 draw against Fluminense.[7] In the semifinals Vizeu hit the net again, this time in both legs against Junior, once in the first leg at Estádio do Maracanã[8] and twice in the second leg at Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez.[9]

Udinese

On 7 February 2018 Udinese signed with Vizeu a five year contract paying a US$6m transfer fee, although Vizeu will only move to the Italian club on 1 July 2018.[10]
