Inter Miami could join Copa Libertadores in 2027
Reports suggest CONMEBOL is considering a plan to allow clubs from the CONCACAF zone to participate in the Copa Libertadores. If this proposal is realized, Inter Miami could receive a special invitation to compete in the tournament in 2027.
Such a move would provide Lionel Messi with the opportunity to play in South America's premier club competition for the first time in his career, as he has spent the majority of his professional years in Europe and the MLS. The project is reportedly linked to Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham. Participation in the tournament would allow the MLS club to face top South American teams, potentially marking a historic moment for both American and South American football.
