Club career
López made his official debut with Chacarita Juniors on 22 August 2009 in a loss against CA Tigre, amounting 24 games in 2009–10 Argentine Primera División.

In July 2010, López joined Arsenal de Sarandí on a free transfer, where he established himself as a centre back, helping the team win the 2012 Clausura. His performances drew attention from European clubs such as Arsenal, A.C. Milan, Málaga CF, and Benfica, in the latter side as a potential replacement for his fellow countryman Ezequiel Garay.

On 10 July 2013, López signed with Portuguese club Benfica on a five-year deal and with a €35 million buy-out clause, being initially loaned for one year to La Liga side Getafe CF. In 2014–15, he was guaranteed a place in Benfica and made his debut on 5 October 2014 in a 4–0 home win over Arouca in Primeira Liga.

On 15 January 2018, Lopez moved to Italian side Inter Milan on a six-month loan with the option to buy. Later, on 5 August that year, he was loaned out to another Serie A club, Genoa, until 30 June 2019. The loan, however, was terminated in January 2019.

On 30 January 2019, López joined Boca Juniors on a loan deal until 31 December. On 1 November, Benfica announced that he had been transferred permanently to the Argentinian side for €2.70m.

On 24 February 2022, López signed with Liga MX club Tijuana.
