Darian DeVries doesn’t need to set an alarm on his phone — his phone is either dead, or it’s being used to talk to coaches, players, agents and anyone else who can help set a foundation. He’s been to dinner in Bloomington a few times and taken brief hour-long breaks. Eventually, he says, he’ll get time to spend with his family and explore his new city.  But for Indiana men’s basketball’s new head coach, who was hired March 18 after one season at West Virginia University, there are more pressing boxes to check off.  “For the most part, it’s just full-go all…

Indiana men’s basketball head coach Darian DeVries and his coaching staff have been busy on the recruiting trail, but they’ve yet to knock on Harun Zrno’s door.  Zrno originally committed to Indiana on Jan. 24 to play for previous head coach Mike Woodson but rescinded his pledge March 19, the day after the Hoosiers hired DeVries. The Bosnian wing hasn’t heard from Indiana since DeVries stepped foot in Bloomington.  Stevan Petrovic, Zrno’s agent at Agency 55, has reached out to DeVries four times — two texts and a pair of phone calls — but hasn’t received any response, Petrovic told the Indiana Daily…

The Premier League season is nearing its end, and Manchester City need to think about the summer transfer window. The club have been dominating the Premier League in the last few seasons, but this time around, they have failed to replicate the performances and are fighting for a top-four spot. The transfer window will be vital, and Pep Guardiola will be looking to strengthen the side so that they can be back in contention for all titles next season. There is a lingering question on the squad depth and long-term planning. There are speculations about long-term targets, and the club are scouting…

Magpies win for a sixth consecutive match to boost Champions League hopes Newcastle United climbed to third in the Premier League and took control of the race for UEFA Champions League qualification with a 5-0 win over Crystal Palace. In a game that was rescheduled due to their successful trip to the EFL Cup final last month, Newcastle were out of sight by half-time at a jubilant St James’ Park. A stunning strike from Jacob Murphy got the Magpies up and running, then they ran riot after Nick Pope saved an Eberechi Eze penalty. Harvey Barnes and Fabian Schar netted either side of Marc Guehi’s own goal to put the hosts 4-0 up…

Any interest from Manchester City in a summer transfer for Crystal Palace’s Daniel Munoz has likely ended following a new development on the player’s future. The four-in-a-row Premier League champions are expected to be on the search for full-back recruits during the upcoming summer transfer window with a number of names already tipped to be targets. Alongside Tottenham and Italy’s Destiny Udogie – who reportedly has admirers within the Etihad Stadium – the North London full-back’s compatriot Andrea Cambiaso of Juventus is expected to be Manchester City’s primary option this summer. The 25-year-old first emerged as a target for the Etihad club…

Crystal Palace have announced that midfielder Will Hughes has extended his contract at the club. The 29-year-old was due to see his previous contract expire in the summer, but he has now put pen to paper on a new deal that runs until the end of the 2026-27 campaign. Hughes, who has been in talks with Palace over a new deal since February, has made 115 appearances for the Eagles across all competitions since joining the club from Watford for a reported £6m in August 2021. The ‘true fans favourite’ – as described on Palace’s official website – has featured regularly under Oliver Glasner this…

Man Utd are interested in landing a former Arsenal fan favourite Manchester United are understood to be plotting a surprise swoop for recently-relegated Southampton star Aaron Ramsdale as part of a massive overhaul in the team’s goalkeeping department. Andre Onana’s second season went from bad to worse as he was left out of the squad for his team’s disappointing 4-1 defeat away to Newcastle United. It marked the first time the Magpies have done the league double over the Red Devils since 1931 and once again highlighted the seismic task that Ruben Amorim faces in the summer transfer window if…

Crystal Palace Consider Kiwior as Guehi Interest Mounts Defensive Plans Begin to Shift at Selhurst Park Crystal Palace could be preparing for a defensive reset this summer, with Marc Guehi’s future growing increasingly uncertain.

His positioning, composure, and leadership have turned heads across the division. Unsurprisingly, his performances haven’t gone unnoticed. “Chelsea are weighing up a move to re-sign the…

Kevin De Bruyne has already made his feelings clear on playing with Lionel Messi amid reports linking him with a stunning move to Inter Miami. De Bruyne is set to leave Manchester City when his contract expires at the end of the season. The 33-year-old has won 16 major trophies since joining the Etihad outfit, including six Premier League titles and the Champions League in their treble-winning campaign in 2023. He showed what Manchester City will be missing as he inspired his side to a come-from-behind victory over Crystal Palace last weekend. After helping Man City to a big 5-2 victory over Palace, De Bruyne dropped…

Napoli, the former Serie A champions, are reportedly open to reducing the €75 million asking price for Victor Osimhen in order to facilitate a transfer to Manchester United and avoid the striker moving to Italian rivals Juventus this summer, according to PUNCH Sports Extra. Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Galatasaray, is set to leave Napoli at the conclusion of this season, with numerous top European clubs vying for his signature. The 26-year-old forward had been expected to depart last summer, but his proposed transfer to Saudi Arabia fell through, and he also turned down a move to Chelsea…
