The dream of many soccer fans is to see Lionel Messi play in the Copa Libertadores. For playing in European football and now in North America, the chances of seeing the star in the continental tournament were low. However, an agreement between Conmebol and the Argentine Football Association (AFA) could change the odds.

According to information from journalist Hugo Balassone, Messi's presence in Liberta may be closer than ever. Responding to Conmebol's request, Claudio Tapia, president of the AFA, invited Inter Miami, from the United States, to participate in the 2024 Copa Libertadores da América.

In July, TNT Sports Argentina announced that Conmebol Libertadores and Concaf (Football Confederation of North, Central America and the Caribbean) discussed the possibility of a unified Libertadores. In this scenario, Concaf clubs could also participate in the tournament. With the invitation to Inter Miami, the unification could be a reality in 2024.

The Mais Querido was eliminated from the Copa Libertadores da América 2023, but he recomposes himself to focus on his other commitments. Flamengo and Grêmio face each other this Wednesday (16), for the return of the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. The clubs duel at 21:30 (Brasília time), in Maracanã.

Two young talents revealed by Flamengo shone in Europe this Saturday (14). Goalkeeper Kauã Santos made his Bundesliga debut for Eintracht Frankfurt, helping the team to a 2-1 victory over Wolfsburg. Kauã entered the field after the experienced Kevin Trapp was injured at the end of the first half. Meanwhile, defender Léo Duarte scored his first goal in European football, securing Basaksehir's 1-0 victory over Bodrum in the Turkish league.

Kauã Santos, who arrived at Flamengo at the age of 16, he never played for the Rio club's main team. After standing out in the youth categories, the goalkeeper caught the attention of Eintracht Frankfurt, who invested R$8.4 million for 70% of his economic rights. On his debut, Kauã was unable to save a penalty taken by Baku, but held off Wolfsburg's pressure, helping to maintain his team's victory.


In turn, Léo Duarte, Copinha champion, rose to Flamengo professionals in 2016 and, little by little, established himself as a starter. In 2018, Milan, from Italy, spent 11 million euros to sign him. After a discreet spell at the Italian club, Léo transferred to Basaksehir, where he finally scored for the first time in Europe.

Léo Duarte and Kauã Santos' moment in Europe

Léo Duarte's Basaksehir occupies third place in the Turkish league with 10 points, just two less than leader Galatasaray. Kauã Santos' Eintracht Frankfurt is in sixth place in the Bundesliga, with six points, three behind leaders Bayern Munich.
