Lisandro López (born 2 March 1983), sometimes known as simply Lisandro, is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for Racing Club de Avellaneda. Primarily a striker, he is also capable of playing on the wings.
After starting out at Racing Club in 2003, López spent most of his professional career with Porto in Portugal and Lyon in France, winning eight major titles between the two teams.
Born in Rafael Obligado, Buenos Aires Province, López started his career at Racing Club de Avellaneda in the Primera División, making his first-team debuts at the age of 19.
He was the league's top scorer in the 2004 Apertura tournament, going on to net more than 30 official goals during his three-year spell.
In April 2005, López signed for FC Porto for a transfer fee of €2.3 million, moving to Portugal alongside countryman Lucho González. His agents, Global Soccer Agencies (later renamed Rio Football Services), retained 50% of the player's rights– in the same transfer window, Luís Fabiano, whose rights were owned by GSA's sister company, "Global Soccer Investments" (75%), left the club. He scored seven Primeira Liga goals in his first season in 26 games, repeating the feat the following campaign while appearing in one match less; he also found the net in the 1–1 home draw against Rangers in the 2005–06 UEFA Champions League, adding two against Hamburger SV (also in that competition but in the following edition, 4–1 home win).
