Maxime Baila Lopez (Spanish: López, pronounced [ˈlopeθ]; born 4 December 1997) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Ligue 2 club Paris FC.

[2] He signed his first professional contract with Marseille on 12 July 2014, and was handed his non-competitive debut by interim manager Franck Passi on the same date two years later in a friendly encounter with Lausanne Sport.

The following season, Lopez temporarily retained his starting berth in Marseille's midfield under coach Rudi Garcia, but lost his position following a dip in form during the campaign's opening matches.

[11] On 19 October 2017, he scored his first and only goal of the season, and his first ever in European competitions, when he netted in a 2–1 Europa League group-stage win over Vitória de Guimarães.

[16] The deal was made permanent in April 2021 after he had played over 30 minutes in 20 Serie A games, triggering an obligation to buy from Marseille.

[22] His older brother, Julien is also a footballer who plays in the Ligue 2 with Paris FC and was a youth international for Algeria.
