Club career

Born in Zaragoza, Aragon, López joined Real Sociedad's youth setup in 2015, from UD Amistad.[1] During the 2017–18 season, while still a youth, he made his senior debut with the C-team.

On 20 June 2018, López renewed his contract until 2022 and was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B.[2] On 7 December, after already being a regular starter for the B-side, he further extended his deal until 2025.[3]

López made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 14 January 2019, coming on as a second-half substitute for Luca Sangalli in a 3–2 home win against RCD Espanyol.[4]
