Felipe Aliste Lopes (born 7 August 1987) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for German club VfL Wolfsburg as a central defender.

He also possesses Portuguese nationality due to the many years spent in the country with Nacional, with which he appeared in 143 official games and scored seven goals.

Football career

Born in Osasco, São Paulo, Lopes started playing professionally with Guarani Futebol Clube, competing with the club in the second division. In 2006, aged only 19, he moved abroad and joined R.S.C. Anderlecht, being part of the squad that won the national championship but failing to appear in the league.

In the summer of 2007 Lopes signed for C.D. Nacional in Portugal, making his Primeira Liga debut on 21 December of that year, starting in a 1–0 home win against FC Porto and being sent off in the 87th minute. He finished his first season, however, with only seven league games played (eight official).

Subsequently, Lopes became first-choice for the Madeirans – in a roster filled with compatriots – appearing in 25 matches in the 2008–09 campaign as the team finished in a best-ever fourth position with the subsequent qualification to the UEFA Europa League, and bettering those totals in the following years.

On 5 January 2012 Lopes signed for VfL Wolfsburg for an undisclosed fee, penning a three-and-a-half-year contract.[1] He made his Bundesliga debut on 21 January in a 1–0 home win against 1. FC Köln, playing the full 90 minutes.[2]

On 22 January 2013, Lopes was loaned out to fellow league side VfB Stuttgart until the end of the season, with the club securing an option to sign him permanently in June,[3] but finally not activating the clause.[4]
