Julián López de Lerma Barahona (born 27 February 1987 in Badajoz, Extremadura) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder.

Football career

After graduating from RCD Espanyol's youth academy, López made his first-team debut during 2006–07, playing seven La Liga matches mostly always as a late substitute (he was initially summoned for the season's UEFA Cup final against Sevilla FC, but eventually did not make the final list of 18). For the following campaign he was loaned to Sevilla Atlético in the second division, appearing rarely due to a severe injury.[1][2]

In January 2009, after having made no competitive appearances for the Catalans during the first half of the season, López served another loan, now with Greek side Panthrakikos FC, and again suffered a serious physical setback, fracturing his right leg. After returning to the Pericos, whilst training with the reserves, he suffered another severe injury.

On 3 March 2011, after a failed move to CF Gavà, López terminated his contract with Espanyol and signed with amateurs UE Rubí.[3] In late July 2011, at only 24, he retired from football due to his constant problems with injuries.[1][4]

In early November 2011, López returned to his main club Espanyol, being appointed scout in its youth academy.[5][6]
