Dynamo still negotiating with veteran left back DaMarcus Beasley

With one month left in the 2016 season, DaMarcus Beasley said he would love to sign another contract with the Dynamo and finish his career in Houston.

With fewer than three weeks remaining before the official training begins for the 2017 season, the United States' only four-time World Cup veteran still does not have a home.

Dynamo general manager Matt Jordan on Thursday night said negotiations are ongoing between the club and Beasley. As a free agent, the 34-year old left back could sign with any other team at any time.

"We think very highly of DaMarcus both professionally and personally," Jordan said. "We've been in regular communication with him and his representative. We're working through that process. Our goal is to bring him back."

Beasley clearly is not done playing. He said after the 2014 World Cup he was retiring from the United States Men's National Team but on Thursday was named by coach Bruce Arena to the 32-player roster for the USMNT camp that begins on Jan. 10.

The team will play friendlies against Serbia (Jan. 29) and Jamaica (Feb. 3) in preparation for the next World Cup Qualifiers against Honduras and Panama in late March.

Beasley's professional career began with the Chicago fire in 2000. In 2004 he moved to Dutch powerhouse PSV Eindhoven. Over the next 10 years he played in England, Scotland and Mexico.

He returned to MLS in 2014 with the Dynamo. Beasley has 62 appearances with Houston over the last three seasons.

His Designated Player contract expired at the end of 2016. Since then the Dynamo acquired Honduran Alberth Elis on loan from Mexico's Monterrey and made him a Designated Player.

With Elis occupying the final DP spot, Beasley would not be able to return to the club as one. He also would have to take a significant pay cut after making a salary of $750,000 last season.

Regardless of the circumstances, new coach Wilmer Cabrera said he hopes Jordan can finalize a deal and bring Beasley back to Houston.

"He is the best left back in the country," Cabrera said. "I am pushing for those negotiations to get done as soon as possible."
