Career

[edit]

Zaldívar started his career with Argentine Primera División team Arsenal de Sarandí and made his first-team debut for the club on 11 May 2014 against Belgrano as he came on for the final few seconds.[1] He had to wait two years before featuring again, but he did go onto play in five consecutive 2016 Argentine Primera División fixtures.[1][3] In September 2017, Zaldívar rescinded his contract with Arsenal.[4] On 13 March 2018, Zaldívar joined United Soccer League side Rio Grande Valley FC Toros.[5][6] He scored his first senior goal on 14 April during a 3–2 loss versus Seattle Sounders FC 2 at Cheney Stadium.[1]

On 5 June, Zaldívar signed for RGVFC's affiliate club Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer on a short-team loan.[7] He made his debut for Houston Dynamo a day later in the U.S. Open Cup against NTX Rayados, scoring the club's fourth goal in a 5–0 victory in the process.[8] He went back to RGVFC days later.[1] In total, Zaldívar scored three times across nineteen games for Rio Grande Valley FC Toros before departing at the conclusion of the 2018 campaign.[1][9] A return to his homeland was completed in July 2019, as he penned terms with Primera C Metropolitana's Sportivo Italiano.[10] Ten games followed.[11]

In August 2020, Zaldívar secured a move up to Primera B Metropolitana with San Miguel.[12] He debuted in a goalless draw at home to Talleres on 5 December, having replaced Federico Sena off the bench with twenty-seven minutes remaining.[1]
