This would mark the first time that a La Liga game has been held in the US.
The suggestion will ultimately be decided by FIFA, the world governing body of football.
Currently, the game is set for December 22, just before La Liga breaks for the winter.
Early in January, Atletico and Barcelona are both set to compete in the four-team Spanish Super Cup, which is being staged in Saudi Arabia.
Leading match promoter Relevent filed a lawsuit against FIFA in April, attempting to have the international league matches held in the US. Fifa withdrew from the case.
Fifa declared the following month that it was forming a working group to examine the possible effects of playing competitive domestic matches overseas.
Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga, has expressed his wish to bring La Liga matches abroad.
Barcelona had intended to play Girona in a league match in Miami in January 2019, but the plan was shelved due to resistance from Spain’s players’ union and football association.
According to league insiders, the plan still needs improvement, but they are optimistic that they will be given permission to move forward.
