Career

Club

[edit]

López began his career in the system of Racing Club.[1][2] He first experienced first-team football in October 2018, with manager Eduardo Coudet selecting him as a substitute for an Argentine Primera División match against Boca Juniors.[1] Racing Club drew the match 2–2, with López coming on for the final minutes in place of Marcelo Díaz.[1] On 16 February 2022, López joined Primera Nacional club Ferro Carril Oeste on a one-year loan deal.[3] However, the spell at Ferro was cut short and on 29 June 2022, he was instead loaned out to Defensa y Justicia until the end of 2023 with a purchase option set at 700 thousand dollars for 50% of the pass.[4]

International

[edit]

López has represented Argentina at U20 level, notably scoring against Ecuador in a friendly on 15 October 2018.[5][6] January 2019 saw López receive a call-up to the South American U-20 Championship in Chile, as an injury replacement for Agustín Almendra.[7]
