López first appeared in the first-team of Argentine Primera División side Banfield in May 2017, as an unused substitute for a Copa Argentina match against Chaco For Ever.[2] On 14 October, López made his professional debut in the Primera División against Estudiantes, coming on as a late substitute for Darío Cvitanich.[2][3] After a second appearance versus Colón two weeks later, López made his first start in a league match with San Lorenzo on 4 November.[2][4] His first senior goal arrived on 18 July 2018 in a Copa Argentina round of sixty-four defeat against General Lamadrid of Primera C Metropolitana.[2]

Ahead of January 2019, López was loaned out to Primera B Nacional's Defensores de Belgrano.[5] Seven appearances followed in six months.[2] July 2019 saw López agree a loan move to Fénix.[6] He debuted in a defeat away to Almirante Brown on 3 August, which preceded his first goal coming in September against Flandria.[2] He returned to Banfield in June 2020, as he subsequently trained with their reserves.[7] On 6 March 2021, López headed to Belarus with Premier League side Minsk.[8] He debuted in a cup quarter-final first leg draw with Isloch later that day.[2]

On 13 December 2021, he signed with AC Oulu in Finland.[9]
