Lionel Messi\u2019s move to Inter Miami has handed Major League Soccer a huge boost and LiveScore is the place to be for all the big talking points from the United States. Keep refreshing this page for the latest stories in bite-sized chunks.<\/em><\/p>\n

New role for Giorgio<\/h2>\n

Former Juventus and Italy centre-back Giorgio Chiellini has taken on the role of a player development coach at Los Angeles FC.<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old spent 18 months as a player at the Major Soccer League outfit before announcing his retirement last month, shortly after LAFC\u2019s MLS Cup final defeat to Columbus Crew.<\/p>\n

LAFC co-president John Thorrington said: \u201cWe are excited to add a truly brilliant football mind, incredible leader and an even better person to our staff for the upcoming season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Christian Pulisic is pleased to see Lionel Messi starring in MLS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Christian Pulisic has hailed Lionel Messi\u2019s arrival in Major League Soccer as \u201cfantastic\u201d \u2014 and says he will \u201cabsolutely\u201d return to America later in his own career.<\/p>\n

The AC Milan forward told\u00a0The Athletic: \u201cHe [Messi] is, of course, the best to really ever do it. After having the [2022] World Cup he did and then obviously being back in MLS, it\u2019s been fantastic for the league.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, I\u2019m not an old player. I hopefully have some great years in Europe ahead of me. I\u2019m loving my time here, so of course MLS is not in my head at the moment. But at the end of my career? Absolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Linking up with Leo<\/h2>\n

Luis Suarez admits he is relishing an unexpected chance to play alongside former Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi again with Inter Miami.<\/p>\n

The Uruguayan, who agreed a deal with the MLS outfit last month, said: \u201cI didn\u2019t imagine [reuniting with Leo] as I thought he\u2019d end his career at Barcelona.<\/p>\n

\u201cSergio [Busquets] and Jordi [Alba] too. I left first and then they followed me. But I think meeting again says a lot about the friendship we have on and off the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suarez on show<\/h2>\n

Inter Miami midfielder Sergio Busquets is relishing the prospect of lining up alongside former Barcelona team-mate Luis Suarez once again.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the Uruguayan forward\u2019s expected debut against El Salvador next Friday, Busquets said: \u201cWe\u2019re very excited. He\u2019s very excited. We know what to expect from him. He has scored goals his entire career.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just won the best player of the Brazilian League, which is very challenging and tough league. He scored many goals, many assists and hopefully he\u2019s coming here to continue with that streak.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gressel joins Messi<\/h2>\n

Inter Miami have signed two-time MLS Cup winner and USA international Julian Gressel.<\/p>\n

Gressel, 30, enjoyed success with Columbus Crew last season and also under Miami boss Gerardo Martino at Atlanta United in 2018.<\/p>\n

The German-born utility man has penned a contract until 2026, saying: \u201cI\u2019m ready to get to work and use my experience in this league to help my new team-mates and this great club achieve its dream of winning more titles.\u201d<\/p>\n
