On 17 July 2013, López was loaned to Girona FC in the second level.[3] He scored his first professional goal on 16 February of the following year, netting the third in a 6–0 home thrashing of CD Lugo.[4]
López made his La Liga debut on 30 August 2014, replacing injured Nikos Karabelas in the seventh minute of a 0–3 loss at Athletic Bilbao.[5] On 23 July of the following year, he signed a new five-year deal with the club running until 2020.[6]
