Born in La Orotava, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, López represented UD Orotava and CD Tenerife[1] before joining Deportivo Alavés' youth setup in 2017. The following March, he renewed his contract until 2020.[2]

López made his senior debut with the reserves on 22 September 2018 at the age of just 16, by starting in a 0–0 Tercera División home draw against Real Sociedad C. In March of the following year, he further extended his contract until 2023, being definitely promoted to the main squad ahead of the 2020–21 campaign.[3]
