Gustavo Adrián López (born April 13, 1973) is an Argentine football (soccer) player, who currently plays as a midfielder for Spanish Primera División side Celta Vigo. He has spent eight years in Spain, and has dual Spanish citizenship.
He was born in Valentín Alsina, Avellaneda, and began his footballing career with Independiente in 1991. He stayed with the club for five seasons, though only achieved honours in his last year with the team.
He transferred to Spanish team Real Zaragoza in 1995, where he was a regular in the first-team. He transferred to Celta Vigo in 1999. He has established himself as an important regular player and signed a new three-year contract in 2003, with the possibility of a one-year extension.
He has played at least 35 times and scored four times for the Argentinian national team since he made his debut against Romania in December 1994. He made his first appearance in an international competition during the 1996 Olympic Games, where he won a silver medal with the under-23 team. Since then, Lopez has been involved in the 1997 and 1999 Copa Américas and the 2002 World Cup.
