Manchester United have made David De Gea an improved offer in a bid to break their contract stand-off, sources have told ESPN FC.

The goalkeeper, who has entered the final year of his deal, has already rejected a five-year contract worth £350,000-a-week.

Sources have told ESPN FC that United are reluctant to make De Gea -- their player of the year in four of the last six seasons -- their highest paid player but have returned with an improved offer in the hope the 28-year-old will commit his long-term future to the club. Negotiations are still ongoing.

If fresh terms cannot be agreed, De Gea will be able to negotiate with clubs outside England from January 1 and leave Old Trafford on a free at the end of next season.

Sources have told ESPN FC that United are willing to keep De Gea this summer, although there are concerns that a big money bid from Paris Saint-Germain would be too good to turn down for a player with just 12 months left on his contract.

United are monitoring Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak, AC Milan's Gianluigi Donnarumma and Andre Onana at Ajax in case they are forced into signing a new No.1. The last time De Gea entered the final year of his contract in 2015, United agreed to sell the Spain international to Real Madrid on deadline day.

Meanwhile, United have been told it will take close to £90 million to sign Harry Maguire from Leicester having seen a bid of £70m rejected. Maguire, who is also wanted by Manchester City, is keen to secure a move to a top-six side after agreeing to stay at the King Power Stadium for another season last summer.

United are also set to host a testimonial for Antonio Valencia next summer. The 33-year-old has signed for LDU Quito in his native Ecuador after leaving Old Trafford after 10 years at the club at the end of last season. United will play LDU in Manchester next summer.

Former midfielder Quinton Fortune is in line to take up a role with the Under-23s following the departure of Ricky Sbragia at the end of the season. South African Fortune spent seven years as a player at the club between 1999 and 2006.

Barcelona are aware that Paris Saint-Germain want Philippe Coutinho and will work on including him in a potential deal for Neymar, various sources have told ESPN FC.

The Spanish champions are set to complete the signing of Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann next week but the arrival of the French forward will not rule out a summer move for Neymar.

- When does the transfer window close?

President Josep Maria Bartomeu has taken charge of talks regarding bringing Neymar back to Camp Nou and the idea is that Coutinho will move in the other direction.

High-ranking sources at Barcelona have told ESPN FC that if they are able to include Coutinho as part of the deal, the chances of re-signing Neymar during the transfer window are "much bigger."

"PSG want Coutinho and have been weighing up [a move] for a while," sources at the Catalan club told ESPN FC. "We know that they have consulted his people about the situation. He's a player that has interested them for some time."

Sources told ESPN FC last month that PSG are prepared to sell Neymar. They would accept €200 million plus Coutinho, although Barca may have to look to include a second player in the deal to further reduce the price, with €120m set to go on Griezmann and €75m already spent on bringing in midfielder Frenkie de Jong from Ajax.

Barca vice president Jordi Cardoner said last week that Neymar wants to rejoin the club. And while Kylian Mbappe is keen for the Brazil international to remain in Paris with him, the Ligue 1 club's hierarchy have grown fed up with Neymar's poor lifestyle habits.

Barca have been actively looking to move Coutinho on since April. They are asking for €105m for the former Liverpool player and have received a number of inquiries.

Coutinho joined Barca 18 months ago in a club record deal worth a potential €160m. He arrived, along with Ousmane Dembele, with the task of filling the gap left by Neymar, who had joined PSG in the summer of 2017 in a world record €222m transfer.

He has been unable to live up to expectations at Barcelona, but he is impressing at the Copa America with Brazil. He helped the hosts beat Argentina on Tuesday to reach the final.

Barcelona are hopeful that his performances during the tournament have boosted his value again following a disappointing end to the domestic campaign.

There has not yet been direct contact between PSG and Barca. The relationship between the two clubs remains cold, to the point that Barca will wait for PSG to open negotiations regarding any deal for Neymar.

So far, everything has been handled by a number of intermediaries who are working on the futures of both Neymar and Coutinho.

Nelson Semedo, who is also drawing interest from Atletico, has been mentioned as another possible makeweight if Barca were to include a second player to further reduce the cost of signing Neymar.

However, sources at Barcelona say the Portuguese right-back is not for sale. Coach Ernesto Valverde is keen to keep him at the club beyond the end of the transfer window.

Sources have also told ESPN FC neither Samuel Umtiti nor Ivan Rakitic are of interest to PSG, while there would be questions about Dembele's character should he be offered as part of the deal -- although he does know coach Thomas Tuchel well from their time at Borussia Dortmund together.

Information from ESPN FC's PSG correspondent Jonathan Johnson and Barcelona correspondent Sam Marsden was used in this report.

LYON, France -- One day before the Fourth of July, United States women's national team forward Megan Rapinoe offered her thoughts on what it means to be an American.

Rapinoe, who did not play Tuesday because of a hamstring injury as the U.S. advanced to the Women's World Cup final by defeating England 2-1, reiterated that she expects to be available for Sunday's game in Lyon against either the Netherlands or Sweden.

But a player who has been in the spotlight throughout this tournament, on and off the field, had more to say when asked to respond to critics who say her words or actions are anti-American.

"I think that I'm particularly and uniquely and very deeply American," Rapinoe said. "If we want to talk about the ideals that we stand for, all the songs and the anthem and sort of what we were founded on, I think I'm extremely American."

Rapinoe has been an outspoken advocate for a number of social issues, especially related to racial inequality, LGBTQ rights and gender discrimination. She supported Colin Kaepernick's protests regarding racial injustice and police brutality. She knelt during the national anthem before two U.S. games in 2016, as well as with her NWSL team Reign FC.

She was also active in raising money for victims of last year's wildfires near her hometown in Northern California.

More recently, after months-old video was released of her saying she would not visit the White House if invited after a U.S. title, she was the subject of several critical tweets from President Donald Trump. She said in a subsequent statement she regretted using profanity in the video clip but otherwise stood by her sentiments.

Named one of three U.S. captains before World Cup qualifying last fall, Rapinoe, 34, said Wednesday that little of her public commentary is planned and that she feels increasingly free to speak her mind.

"I think for the detractors, I would have them look hard into what I'm actually saying and the actions that I'm doing," Rapinoe said. "Maybe you don't agree with every single way that I do it, and that can be discussed. I know that I'm not perfect.

"But I think I stand for honesty, for truth and for wanting to have the conversation. And for looking at the country honestly and saying, yes, we are a great country and there are many things that are so amazing -- and I feel very fortunate to be in this country. I'd never be able to do this in a lot of other places.

"But also, that doesn't mean that we can't get better. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't always strive to be better. I think that this country was founded on a lot of great ideals, but it was also founded on slavery. And I think we just need to be really honest about that and be really open in talking about that, so we can reconcile that and hopefully move forward and make this country better for everyone."

On the field, Rapinoe, with five goals, remains in the running for the Golden Boot as the World Cup's top scorer. She trails teammate Alex Morgan and England's Ellen White, who will play in the third-place game, by a goal.

Atletico Madrid have won the race to sign highly coveted Benfica forward Joao Felix, with Benfica announcing they had reached an agreement to sell the 19-year-old for a fee of €126 million and Atleti confirming the deal.

Atletico Madrid also put out a tweet featuring Felix in the club's colors walking through the capital city's Prado museum with the caption "pure talent" following the most expensive transfer in club history, surpassing the €72m they paid for Thomas Lemar last summer.

Felix has already passed his medical and signed a seven-year contract with Atleti, the club announced in a subsequent story on their website.

The fee is the fifth highest ever paid for a player after the transfers of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele.

Felix, who has been likened to Cristiano Ronaldo, attracted the attention of top European clubs, including Manchester City and Manchester United, after an impressive debut season with Portuguese champions Benfica.

It was the second big move of the day for Atleti, who earlier announced that Mexico international Hector Herrera was joining the club on a free transfer after his contract expired at Porto.

Benfica had insisted in recent months that Felix would only leave if his €120m release clause was paid, but ultimately received slightly more from Atleti for the transfer because they requested to pay the fee in installments.

Atletico needed a replacement for French forward Antoine Griezmann, who announced last month he was leaving the Rojiblancos this summer after five seasons at the club.

Felix scored 15 goals and set up nine more in 26 league appearances and had been tied to Benfica until June 2023.

He made his national team debut in a 3-1 win over Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League semifinal on June 6 and started three days later as Portugal beat the Netherlands, 1-0, to lift the trophy.

Felix is Atletico's fifth summer signing following the arrival of Brazilian centre-back Felipe from Porto, the acquisition of Argentine forward Nicolas Ibanez from Mexican side Atletico San Luis, Marcos Llorente from Real Madrid and Herrera.

Ibanez will be loaned to Atletico San Luis for the 2019-20 campaign.

Atletico finished runners-up to Barcelona in La Liga and will play in next season's Champions League.

Middlesex 520 (Malan 199, Simpson 115) drew with Derbyshire 557 for 6 dec (du Plooy 118, Dal 92) and 178 for 6 dec (du Plooy 69*, Hosein 61)

Derbyshire survived a last-day scare to deny Middlesex an improbable victory in their County Championship Division Two match at Derby.

After Dawid Malan's 199 and John Simpson's 115 had taken Middlesex to 520, Derbyshire were wobbling at 39 for 4, only 76 runs in front.

But South African batsman Leus du Plooy followed his first-innings century with an unbeaten 64 and 61 from Harvey Hosein took the home side to 178 for 6, a lead of 215, when the teams shook hands on a draw.

That was the most likely outcome at the start of the day as Malan and Simpson took their stand to 224, one short of the seventh-wicket record by any county against Derbyshire, before the Middlesex skipper pushed a return catch to Matt Critchley. He had batted just over eight-and-a-half hours, passing his career-best 182 not out, and was the 68th batsman in the history of the game to be out 199.

With Fynn Hudson-Prentice falling one short of a hundred for Derbyshire, it was the only time in a first-class game in England that batsmen have scored 99 and 199.

Simpson's century and his stand with Malan was more significant for Middlesex, who had gone from a position where defeat was very much a possibility, to one where they could put Derbyshire under pressure.

Billy Godleman and Luis Reece negotiated four overs before lunch while extending the lead but the position changed dramatically after the interval as four wickets fell for 16 runs. Godleman's tentative push at Tom Helm resulted in an edge to Simpson and Hudson-Prentice was run out in the next over when he was sent back and failed to beat the throw from midwicket.

Reece missed a sweep at Nathan Sowter and Alex Hughes bagged a pair when the leg-spinner found his outside edge to leave Derbyshire in trouble on 39 for 4.

The advantage was only just past 100 when du Plooy edged Toby Roland-Jones but Sam Robson, stationed at a wide first slip, was unable to hold on.

Middlesex employed spin at both ends but the runs began to come more freely and by tea Derbyshire were 163 ahead with overs running out.

Sowter had Hosein lbw pushing forward and Malan beat Critchley's defensive prod but the lead was now over 200 and it was no surprise when the draw was agreed with 20 overs remaining.

Glamorgan 449 and 246 for 5 dec (Labuschagne 100, Selman 58) drew with Worcestershire 370 (D'Oliveira 103) and 143 for 1 (Ferguson 70*, Mitchell 64*)

Marnus Labuschagne soon reached the ten runs he needed for his second century of the match and fifth of the Championship season, but Glamorgan's meeting with Worcestershire crawled to a draw as the visitors made no attempt to chase down their target of 326 in 66 overs at Sophia Gardens.

Worcestershire ended on 143 for 1 in glorious sunshine. Ever since the first morning when Joe Leach inserted Glamorgan, his team were on the back foot and, apart from Brett D'Oiveira's splendid all-round performance, his team lacked confidence and will need to improve if they have any hopes of a return to Division One after this season.

At tea, the visitors needed a further 219 from the remaining 34 overs, and with Glamorgan employing attacking fields and the explosive Rikki Wessels next in, there were hopes that Worcestershire might have a go, but the tactics remained unchanged and the supporters - some from over the border - began to drift away disappointed with what they had seen.

Glamorgan had added 109 runs during the morning session and were 325 runs ahead at lunch when David Lloyd declared.

Labuschagne failed to add to his hundred when he swept D'Oiveira to deep square leg, and after Nick Selman had completed two fifties in the game, and Lloyd went for 12, Dan Douthwaite struck a brisk 40 before departing shortly before lunch.

Worcestershire lost Josh Dell for 1 in Lukas CareGlamorgan Head Coach Matthew Maynard said "I thought it was an excellent cricket wicket although it didn't break up as much as I thought it would. I thought we had a chance, but Worcestershire weren't interested which was a bit surprising as they had some quality batsmen to come.

With five championship games to go we stand a good chance of promotion, but after Middlesex it will be all T20, and after that back to red ball cricket".y's second over, but Daryl Mitchell and Callum Ferguson soon settled into their productive partnership against a Glamorgan attack that had minimal assistance from a placid pitch.

Ferguson reached his fifty from 75 balls, but Mitchell failed to show any attacking intent and faced 24 more balls than his partner to reach a painstaking fifty.

Glamorgan gained 13 points from the game to remain unbeaten and stay in contention at the top of Division Two, while Worcestershire took 10 points ahead of next week's game against Derbyshire at Kidderminster.

Glamorgan head coach Matthew Maynard said: "I thought it was an excellent cricket wicket although it didn't break up as much as I thought it would.
