Club career
editA youth product of the Ajax academy, López signed for Monaco and was immediately loaned to Cercle Brugge while recovering from knee surgery.[2] He made his professional debut on 26 December 2018 in a 1–0 First Division A defeat to Eupen.[3]
In 2020, López joined NEC as a free agent and was assigned to the club's under-21 side.[4] After leaving NEC in 2021, he was without a club for almost two years before signing for GVVV of the Derde Divisie in March 2023.[5] He moved to TEC in September 2023,[6][7] and spent two seasons with the Tiel club before joining Scherpenzeel in April 2025 following their promotion to the same division.[8]
International career
editPersonal life
editAlongside his playing career, López has worked in healthcare.[11] He has spoken about progressing through the Ajax academy in the same age group as future Netherlands internationals Matthijs de Ligt, Donyell Malen, Noa Lang and Justin Kluivert, and about taking a different career path while playing in the Dutch fourth tier, the Derde Divisie.[11]
