Club career
Born in Errenteria, Gipuzkoa, López joined Athletic Bilbao's youth system in 2011 at the age of 14, from neighbouring Real Sociedad, after starting it out at Antiguoko. He made his debuts as a senior with the farm team in the 2012–13 season in Tercera División, and in June 2013 was promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B.
On 2 July 2014, López was called up to the main squad by manager Ernesto Valverde for the Lions' pre-season matches. In August he was also added in the B-list for the campaign's UEFA Champions League, being assigned the number 29 jersey.
On 27 August 2014, López was named on the bench for the Champions League play-off match against S.S.C. Napoli. In the following day he made his first-team debut, coming on as a substitute for Markel Susaeta in the 72nd minute of a 3–1 home win and also assisting Ibai Gómez in the third.
On 26 July 2016, after a season back at the B-side in Segunda División, López was loaned to CD Leganés for one year.
