TRENDING RUMORS

– Manchester City remain determined to sign striker Igor Thiago despite the forward’s recent decision to sign a new contract at Brentford, according to TeamTalk. Chelsea and Bayern Munich are also thought to be monitoring Thiago’s development during a remarkable breakout season that has seen him score 18 goals in 27 appearances in all competitions. The 24-year-old, who joined Brentford in 2024 from Club Brugge, is under contract in West London until June 2031.

– Manchester United will attempt to secure a permanent exit for goalkeeper André Onana this summer, The Sun reports. The Cameroon goalkeeper is on loan at Trabzonspor, where he has played 17 times to date in the league, registering four clean sheets. However, it remains to be seen whether the Turkish side would be interested in signing him permanently at the end of his loan spell.

– Liverpool are among the sides interested in signing RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, Christian Falk has revealed. RBL are expected to demand a transfer fee of around €100 million this summer, an amount which fellow German club Bayern Munich are unwilling to pay. As such, a move to the Premier League could become a concrete possibility, with Manchester United and Manchester City also tracking his development. Diomande, 19, is under contract at Leipzig until 2030.

– Barcelona are keen to try and lower Manchester United‘s valuation of Marcus Rashford, according to the Express. The forward, who is on loan at the Catalan giants from United, has impressed in Spain this season, with the club eager to make his move permanent in the summer. However, that would involve triggering a £26 million option in Rashford’s contract, a fee the Barça hierarchy feels is too high. Rashford, 28, is said to be “determined to stay” at the club after registering 12 goal involvements in 21 La Liga games this season.

Pakistan’s experienced batter Babar Azam has urged his teammates to remain calm and focused amid the high expectations ahead of the T20 World Cup match against India, scheduled for Sunday in Colombo.

“Matches between Pakistan and India are always intense. It’s not just the people of both countries, but the whole world watches this game, which takes it to a completely different level and raises expectations from the players,” Babar said in a video statement.

He added, “I have been part of many such matches and have learned that the more composed you remain, and the more you focus on the game instead of external noise, the better you will perform.”

Babar acknowledged the excitement surrounding the fixture but emphasised that players benefit from staying tension-free.

“There is always a lot of energy in this match, but the more relaxed the players are, the better it is for them,” he said.

Rain to play spoilsport
Meanwhile, the Sri Lanka Meteorological Department has predicted rainfall in Colombo on match day, adding a weather variable to the contest.

Cricket fans, however, remain hopeful for an exciting game on Sunday.

WACO, Texas — Tyce Armstrong hit three grand slams in his Baylor debut Friday night in the Bears’ 15-2 season-opening victory over New Mexico State, just the second college baseball player to accomplish that feat.

“I’m speechless,” Armstrong said. “It’s the coolest thing I’ve ever been a part of.”

He joins Louisville’s Jim LaFountain as the only players with that distinction. LaFountain hit two of his three grand slams in the same inning on March 24, 1976, in the second game of a doubleheader against Western Kentucky. He also hit a two-run home run in the 26-4 victory that was called in the fifth inning.

No Major League Baseball player has hit three grand slams in one game. Thirteen players have had two in a game.

Armstrong, a senior first baseman, transferred from Texas-Arlington, where he had 17 homers and 87 RBIs over three seasons.

He went 3-for-4 with 12 RBIs against New Mexico State.

Armstrong hit all three homers to left field — a 401-foot shot in the third inning, a 407-foot blast in the fourth and a 386-foot homer in the seventh.
