Club career

=Real Oviedo=

Born in Teverga, Asturias, Adrián was a product of local Real Oviedo's youth system. He quickly made the transition into the first team, scoring three goals in 26 matches while playing in the Segunda División B. However, he did not have a professional contract because he was a youth player, and the only way to acquire his services for free was to offer him one.{{cite news|url=https://www.lavozdegalicia.es/noticia/deza/2006/09/01/oviedo-exige-anule-fichaje-adrian-depor/0003_5070909.htm|title=El Oviedo exige que se anule el fichaje de Adrián por el Dépor|trans-title=Oviedo demand Adrián's signing by Dépor be annulled|publisher=La Voz de Galicia|language=es|date=1 September 2006|access-date=18 April 2018}}

After receiving few first team opportunities during 2007–08, Adrián was loaned to Segunda División strugglers Deportivo Alavés in April 2008.{{cite web|url=http://www.joinfutbol.com/es/adrian_lopez_del_deportivo_se_marcha_cedido_al_alaves_hasta_fin_de_temporada_9869.php|title=Adrián López del Deportivo se marcha cedido al Alaves|trans-title=Deportivo's Adrián López goes on loan to Alaves|publisher=Join Futbol|language=es|date=11 April 2008|access-date=10 April 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413131546/http://www.joinfutbol.com/es/adrian_lopez_del_deportivo_se_marcha_cedido_al_alaves_hasta_fin_de_temporada_9869.php|archive-date=13 April 2014}} After helping the Basque team avoid relegation with three league goals, he returned to A Coruña to be loaned again on 14 August, this time to newly promoted Málaga CF on a season-long deal.{{cite news|url=http://archivo.marca.com/edicion/marca/futbol/1a_division/malaga/es/desarrollo/1155540.html|title=Adrián López jugará cedido en el Málaga|trans-title=Adrián López will play on loan to Málaga one season|publisher=Marca|first=Dani|last=Ortiz|language=es|date=14 August 2008|access-date=10 April 2014}}

As the volatile Reyes became increasingly disgruntled with his reserve status at the club, Adrián firmly established himself in the starting eleven.
