Luis Felippe Martins Reis (born 18 September 1996), known as Luis Felippe, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a forward.
Born in Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro,[1] Luis Felippe graduated with Friburguense's youth setup. On 1 February 2014 he made his senior debut, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 away draw against Volta Redonda for the Campeonato Carioca championship.[2]
Luis Felippe scored his first goal on 15 February, netting the last in a 3–0 home win against Audax.[3] He finished the competition with four goals in eight matches, attracting interest from Série A clubs.
On 17 July 2014, after nearly joining Internacional,[4] Luis Felippe signed a three-year contract with Grêmio for a R$400,000 fee, returning to youth football.[1] In May of the following year, after having altercations with the latter's staff, he nearly ended his career[5] but was subsequently promoted to the main squad late in the month.[6]
On 9 July 2015, Luis Felippe was loaned to Spanish Segunda División side RCD Mallorca, in a season-long deal.[7]
