Papiss Cisse is expected to remain a Newcastle United player beyond this week's transfer deadline.
The Daily Star Sunday says the striker has a buy-out clause that looks set to be triggered once the season comes to an end.
Clubs from the Qatar Stars League are chasing the Senegal frontman who is out of form and favour on Tyneside.
Al-Rayyan lead the race and Cisse, 28, who still has three-and-a-half years left on his contract, is understood to be keen on a move.
