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

Football career

After graduating from RCD Espanyol's youth academy, Julián made his first-team debuts during the 2006–07 season, playing in seven La Liga games mostly always as a late substitute (he was initially summoned for the campaign'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]

In January 2009, after having made no official appearances for the Catalans during the first half of the season, Julián served another loan, now with Greece's Panthrakikos FC, and again suffered a serious physical setback, fracturing his right leg. After returning to the Pericos, whilst training with the B-team, he suffered another severe injury.

On 3 March 2011, after a failed move to CF Gavà, Julián rescinded his contract with Espanyol and signed with amateurs UE Rubí.[2] In late July 2011, at only 24, he retired from football due to his constant problems with injuries.[1][3]

In early November 2011 Julián returned to his main club Espanyol, being appointed scout in its youth academy.[4][5]
