Filipe Luís Kasmirski (born 9 August 1985), known as Filipe Luís, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a left back for Spanish club Atlético Madrid and the Brazil national team.
A player of tireless approach, he played most of his professional career in Spain, beginning at Deportivo de La Coruña, where he spent four seasons. In 2010, he joined Atlético Madrid, and won several trophies including La Liga. In July 2014, he joined Chelsea for £15.8 million, helping them win the League Cup and Premier League, but returned to Atlético a year later.
Filipe Luís made his debut for Brazil in 2009 and has since earned over 20 caps, helping win the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup on home soil, and representing the nation at the 2015 Copa América.
Filipe Luís was born in Jaraguá do Sul, Santa Catarina. Coming from Figueirense as an attacking midfielder, he had his first taste of football in Europe with Ajax in 2004, spending one full season there. Despite never playing a first-team match for Ajax, he credits the Dutch club for helping him learn tactical aspects of the game, as well as aiding his development by allowing him to train with players such as Rafael van der Vaart and Wesley Sneijder.
After leaving Ajax, Filipe Luís was registered under Rentistas, an Uruguayan club that had a partnership with his agent Juan Figer. In August 2005, Filipe Luís was signed by Real Madrid on a loan contract. He would spend most of the season, however, with its B team in the Segunda División. The move was not made permanent after high financial requests from the Uruguayan club.
