TRENDING RUMORS
– Manchester United could offload as many as 11 players in the summer, including club captain Bruno Fernandes, in order to fund a rebuild of their squad, according to The Sun. Sources have told ESPN that the club hope to bolster their options at wing-back alongside their pursuit of a central midfielder. Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton and Carlos Baleba are among the names being considered along with Wolverhampton Wanderers duo João Gomes and André, Stuttgart‘s Angelo Stiller and Atlético Madrid‘s Conor Gallagher. In order to raise money and freshen up their roster, United are willing to let Fernandes leave along with Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Højlund, Casemiro, Jadon Sancho, Harry Maguire, Altay Bayindir, Joshua Zirkzee and Tyrell Malacia.
– Real Madrid are likely to make an attempt to sign Manchester City striker Erling Haaland if Vinícius Júnior departs, although the Citizens aren’t worried about the Norway international leaving anytime soon, according to TEAMtalk. Los Blancos are trying to convince Vinícius to extend his contract past its current expiration in 2027, but the 25-year-old is reluctant to do so amid issues with Xabi Alonso. The Spanish giants have held a long-term interest in Haaland, and they could try to play him alongside Kylian Mbappé.
– Arsenal, Barcelona and Liverpool all recently scouted RB Leipzig midfielder Assan Ouédraogo, according to Sport Bild. The report adds that Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have had the 19-year-old on their radar since his academy days, while earlier this week Sky Sports Deutschland credited Chelsea and Manchester United with interest in the Germany international. Even so, his rapid development and a contract that runs until 2029 mean Die Roten Bullen expect to receive around €100 million from any possible transfer. No clubs will be able to watch Ouédraogo for “several weeks” though, as he suffered a tendon injury in his left hamstring against Werder Bremen.
– There is a difference of perspectives when it comes to Ibrahima Konaté, as Real Madrid are confident that they will sign the centre-back as a free agent while Liverpool are happy about how his situation is progressing, TEAMtalk reports. The 26-year-old’s contract at Anfield expires in the summer, but the latest round of talks are believed to have been promising. The France international is Los Blancos‘ priority at centre-back with Bayern Munich’s Dayot Upamecano being the back-up option.
– Juventus and AC Milan have made contact with Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva in recent weeks, reports Calciomercato, with the Portugal international’s contract at the Etihad expiring in the summer. The 31-year-old has also received attention from Saudi Arabia but wants ro stay as a key player in Europe. Silva could follow the likes of Luka Modric and former teammate Kevin De Bruyne to Serie A, although his current salary of a net €10m could cause an issue.

The Miami (Ohio) RedHawks’ men’s basketball team continued their perfect start to the season on Tuesday night.
The No. 19 RedHawks defeated the Toledo Rockets, 74-72, improving to 30-0 and clinching at least a share of the Mid-American Conference regular-season title. Miami is the only undefeated team in Division I men’s basketball and has the best start and longest win streak in conference history.

The team celebrated with the regular-season trophy as confetti fell onto the court in the arena.
“That’s the beauty of basketball: When you’re having fun with the right group of guys, you can become unbeatable,” Miami star Peter Suder told reporters, via the school’s website.
“It’s a surreal moment, obviously,” he added as he reflected on his family and the support he’s received through his collegiate career. “They’ve been with me through it all, and I’m just super-happy they were there tonight and soaked in the moment as well.”

Suder had 19 points in the win and is averaging 14.8 points per game this season.
The RedHawks needed to dig deep to hang on against Toledo.
The Rockets cut the deficit to one on four different occasions. Toledo’s Austin Parks had a good opportunity to put the team ahead, but Miami’s Eian Elmer blocked him at the rim. Toledo trailed by two points and had the ball with 13 seconds left but a costly turnover sealed the win for Miami.
Miami completed its first season sweep of Toledo since the 1996-97 season and are now on a three-game winning streak against the Rockets after losing 22 straight from 2012-24.
