Jack Grealish has not seen sufficient ambition from&nbsp;Aston Villa&nbsp;to tempt him to stay with the club, according to former captain Stiliyan Petrov. Relegation from the Premier League looks a near certainty for Villa now, after&nbsp;Watford&nbsp;and West Ham claimed potentially decisive wins on Saturday to pull clear of the bottom three. Grealish is widely expected to leave,&nbsp;having been linked with a host of leading clubs including Manchester United, and the 24-year-old may risk his potential going unfulfilled should he drop into the second tier again. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/villa-havent-done-enough-to-keep-him-petrov-expects-man-utd/1gv50f3bsc6ht14ldb4i68lcwj" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Gerson has flourished back in his home country, leading&nbsp;to links to some of Europe's biggest clubs.&nbsp;But he insists he is happy at Flamengo. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/chelsea-and-spurs-linked-gerson-has-no-interest-in-flamengo/1t7qq5azoslgm1vx41zxiyw518" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Arsenal&nbsp;may be willing to part with Alexandre Lacazette in the next transfer window as the money generated from that sale would allow them to bring in a suitable replacement for Aaron Ramsey, says Ray Parlour. The former Gunners winger told talkSPORT: "Whether Arsenal have got the money to spend, we'll have to wait and see. That's why they probably have to let Lacazette go and maybe get some money in to buy a midfielder." <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/arsenal-sell-lacazette-sign-another-ramsey-parlour-transfer/hjik3rkrwz7c1owmsbghfbai1" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Manchester United are considering a move for Barcelona striker&nbsp;Ousmane Dembele if they fail in their bid for Jadon Sancho, according to <a href="https://theathletic.com/1914534/2020/07/09/manchester-united-transfer-window-jadon-sancho/" target="_blank">The Athletic.</a> The Red Devils have made Sancho their prime target but are reluctant to meet Dortmund's £100 million ($126m) asking price. Dembele is likely to be allowed to leave Barca for around half that amount, making him an attractive alternative. Dortmund would also benefit from that deal thanks to a sell-on clause included in the deal that took Dembele to Barca from BVB in 2017.

Borussia Dortmund's valuation of rumoured&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;target Jadon Sancho must be met 100 per cent if he is to be sold this summer, according to the club's sporting director Michael Zorc.
