What happened. Al-Hilal have placed Gabriel Martinelli on a three-man shortlist as they seek a high-profile attacking addition, but the player's preference is to stay in Europe.

• Martinelli is 25 years old.
• He has attracted significant interest this summer.
• His preference has consistently been to continue in Europe.
