Minnesota United coach Adrian Heath believes Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo could join David Beckham's new MLS club in Miami.
Earlier this week, a group headed by Beckham finally received the green light for an MLS team in Miami to begin playing in 2020.
Beckham's team will likely be helped by having a far bigger budget than the one Heath has to currently work with in Minnesota, and the former Everton player believes the backing of Beckham's ownership group, which includes his manager Simon Fuller, along with businessmen Marcelo Claure, Masayoshi Sun and Jorge and Jose Mas, will ensure the world's leading stars like Ronaldo or Messi can be lured to Miami.
"If you look at David's ownership group, they are very wealthy guys -- four billionaires," Heath told Press Association Sport. "They aren't going to come in and sit idly by while Atlanta and Toronto pay and play powerhouses.
"I don't think they're coming here to make up the numbers, I know for a fact they're not going to be.
"I wouldn't be surprised if the two in Spain -- Messi and Ronaldo -- if one of them didn't end up with David in a couple of years.
"It's also a very attractive place for South Americans and they will be playing in a brand new stadium downtown. I certainly don't think he'll have a problem with his name.''
