Ahead of 2016–17, López joined Lusitano VRSA. He again netted on his debut against Armacenenses, on the way to three across ten games.

In February 2017, López agreed to join Categoría Primera B's Orsomarso of Colombia. A year after, López secured a move to Categoría Primera A's Atlético Huila. Having participated in thirty-six fixtures and scored thirteen times in all competitions in 2018, López signed a pre-contract with Argentine Primera División side Estudiantes on 27 November; effective from January 2019.[3] [4]
