Club career
López began his career in the U-15 category of Club América in 2012. For the Liga MX Apertura 2018 tournament, América's head coach Miguel Herrera decided to register him in the first team roster. On 22 July 2018 he made his Liga MX debut coming in as a substitute for Henry Martín on the 83rd minute of the match against Club Necaxa.
