López started his career at the age of seven with Club El Progreso in Saladas.[1] Six months later, soon before a trial in front of their scouts, the player was signed by Boca Juniors.[1] At the age of nine, López joined Independiente; remaining until 2016, he notably trained with Ariel Holan's first-team squad at one point.[1] 2017 saw López head to Lanús, initially featuring at youth level before being called up mid-season ahead of the 2018–19 Primera División resumption.[1] However, in that period, López was loaned to Liga Tresarroyense side Colegiales de Tres Arroyos in 2019.[1][2][3] He finished his stint there as the club's top scorer.[1]
López was promoted into Luis Zubeldía's senior squad in late-2020, appearing on the substitute's bench for Copa de la Liga Profesional encounters with Aldosivi and Defensa y Justicia.[4][5] López, in the aforementioned competition, made his professional debut on 3 January 2021 during a draw on the road against Patronato, after he was substituted on in place of Gonzalo Torres with twenty-five minutes left.[4][6] On his second appearance, López scored his first goal during a win over Rosario Central on 9 January.[4]
