Udinese Felipe began his career with
Udinese Calcio, where he made his first team debut in April 2003. He has proven himself as a reliable central defender in Serie A, especially in the 2005–06 season for the club in the
UEFA Champions League. Felipe signed a new four-year contract with Udinese in March 2008 which would see him stay until 2012. He also signed an improved contract in November 2005. In the 2006–07 season, Felipe missed the rest of the season after he was injured in January. He returned to the team in September 2007 and became one of the key players who helped Udinese qualify for the
2008–09 UEFA Cup. But another injury in March 2008 meant he would miss the rest of the season and he returned in November 2008. He played 6 matches in 2008–09 UEFA Cup, which he missed the front part of the tournament. In the 2009–10 season, Felipe was not a regular; the coach preferred
Andrea Coda and
Cristian Zapata (who changed his role from fullback) as the central defensive pair. He only played 3 league matches.
