The reports also claimed that Boro's Egyptian star Mido was trying to convince Boro to seal a move for the Al-Hilal attacking midfielder.
Al-Qahtani, who has scored 44 goals in 54 appearances at international level, is known to be keen on a move to Europe.
However, it appears as though Boro are not in talks to bring Al-Qahtani to the Riverside, with the club's official website confirming the reports were "wide of the mark".
