MLS commissioner Don Garber says Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi would be welcome to the US.

Ronaldo has been linked with Inter Miami after his release by Manchester United, while PSG star Messi has also been mentioned as a Miami target.

Garber said, "I've heard all the rumours that have been circulating these days, although none specifically about Ronaldo.

"I'm sure sooner or later rumors about him will come up too, but I can't comment on whether one team or the other is actually interested to him. There has been an interest in Messi. We believe a lot, however, in the formality of the rules so at the moment he is under contract and then he will decide what to do.

"It would be fantastic to have someone like him in our championship, someone of his stature who can offer a global platform to talk about the MLS, even beyond the borders of our countries.

"I wouldn't be surprised if we hear more voices about Messi in particular."
