Contract negotiations ongoing Zeca's contract option for 2023 has not been activated yet by the Dynamo, and the club has until mid-November to make a final decision.

Impact Zeca kept a clean sheet and recorded an assist in 20 appearances (12 starts) during his rookie season in MLS, but he seems to be the backup to Griffin Dorsey at right-back in Houston. The 28-year-old will become a free agent if the club does not activate his contract option by the November deadline.
