Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lopez.

Judged on this season alone, Lopez graded 27 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 51 of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 0 goals, 3 assists and 1.699 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 51 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 57, 34th of 51 of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 28 Lopez is in his prime years, and a market index of 20.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Lopez missed 3 games through injury (leg, yellow cards, achilles tendon) out of roughly 34 this season. The 26 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
