López began his career in 1997 at River Plate Buenos Aires , where he made his debut in the 2001/02 season as a 17-year-old in the A-Team. With River Plate he won the Clausura in 2002, 2003 and 2004. In January 2005 he was signed by FC Barcelona , who needed a new striker due to injury problems . On February 6, 2005 he finally made his debut in the Spanish Primera División . In the 0-2 defeat against Atlético Madrid , coach Frank Rijkaard replaced him in the 78th minute for Oleguer . Three weeks later, on February 23, López came to his debut in the UEFA Champions League against Chelsea . After being substituted on for Ludovic Giuly in the 64th minute, he promptly scored the goal to make it 1-1 in the 67th minute. In the 73rd minute he did the preparatory work for 2-1 by Samuel Eto'o . The game was won 2-1. This hit remained his only competitive goal in the dress of FCB . By the end of the season, the attacker made seven more league appearances, but was only a supplementary player and was never in the starting line-up. Also in the 2005/06 season he came in Spain's top division only to six missions, where he was substituted on four times. He was only used once in the Champions League, which FC Barcelona won: in the 1-0 win at AC Milan , he was substituted on in the 89th minute. In order to get more match practice, López was given in the 2006/07 season on loan to league rivals Real Mallorca . There he usually formed the family team of island footballers together with Víctor . The striker scored his first league goal on matchday four. In the game against Espanyol Barcelona López scored the only goal and thus ensured the 1-0 success. The Argentine has been substituted on or off 26 times in 29 games for Mallorca.

For the 2007/08 season, Barcelona sought to loan Maxi Lopez again. However, the request from Sporting Lisbon was rejected - contrary to earlier reports. Instead, Maxi Lopez was sold to FK Moscow for a transfer fee of two million euros . He signed a four-year contract with this club and was together with Pablo Cesar Barrentos, Hector Bracamonte and Maxi Morales the fourth Argentine player of the club. In February 2009 he was loaned to Grêmio Porto Alegre . In mid-January 2010, López moved to Catania Calcio and signed a contract there until June 30, 2014.

On January 27, 2012, AC Milan announced the signing of López on loan. There was a purchase option. However, this was not pulled and López returned to Catania after half a year.
