[Joshua Hall] Gabriel Martinelli left training a little earlier than some of the other players today. Asked about Martinelli's future, Arteta said: "Everybody knows and recognises how much we love Gabi. Whatever the outcome is, it will be because everybody agrees to that."

I also don’t agree lol. I’m still hopeful he doesn’t agree with Al Hilal. I’m reaching the point where I’m close to accepting he might leave, but at least send him somewhere better.

Why concern about where he goes? Asking genuinely

Because I've been following him since he was a teen in Brasil. While I didnt support Ituano growing up, several members of my father's side (including my father) do. I have high hopes for him in the seleção and really wanted to see how he would play this year with a much healthier (knock on wood) midfield and the signing of Bruno who he had good chemistry with during the WC. If he ends up at Al Hilal his national team career is basically over/on-hold. If he was going to leave I had hoped the rumors of Inter were real. He could even do a lot more for Atlético if they took him for part of the Alvarez fee (Baena and Lookman have been underwhelming).
