Career progression
A look at Lopez's career
Lopez joined Celta's academy at the age of 10 and made his senior debut for the club in October 2024. He has since made 20 appearances across all competitions, scoring four goals. His impressive performance in just his second game, where he scored twice against Salamanca in Copa Del Rey, showcased his potential.

Transfer strategy
Wolves's summer transfer window so far
This summer, Wolves have already sold forward Matheus Cunha to Manchester United for £62.5m and left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri to Manchester City for £31m. The sales have brought in nearly £100 million for the club. After getting a versatile player in Lopez to fill in for Cunha, Wolves are still looking for a replacement for Ait-Nouri. They are also waiting on captain Nelson Semedo's decision about his future with the club amid interest from Galatasaray.
