Alexander Shaw, the Inter Miami midfielder who represented the United States at youth level, has been approached by Colombia over a potential international switch, a source has confirmed to ESPN.

Shaw featured for the United States U-20 side during the 2026 Concacaf tournament, but his dual nationality has opened the door for Colombia to make their interest known.

The contact from Colombia signals a growing battle between the two nations for the services of the young midfielder, whose eligibility allows him to choose either country at senior level.
