He returned to action with the main squad on 26 January 2012, and again featured the 90 minutes, now in the 0–3 home loss to Valencia CF in the same competition. On 17 July 2013, López was loaned to Girona FC of Segunda División. He scored his only professional goal on 16 February of the following year, the third in a 6–0 home rout of CD Lugo. López made his La Liga debut on 30 August 2014, replacing the injured Nikos Karabelas in the seventh minute of a 3–0 loss at Athletic Bilbao. In July 2015, he signed a new five-year contract until 2020; in October 2017, he suffered a cruciate ligament injury to his left knee during training, going on to be sidelined for several months. On 28 August 2018, López was loaned to second-tier side Gimnàstic de Tarragona for one season.
