Cardiff City veteran Aron Gunnarsson is expected to leave the club at the end of the season.
When the 29-year-old's contract runs out, he will look for a new home.
The Iceland captain could be making a move to Qatar, with Al-Arabi linked with his signature.
The veteran is the longest serving player at Cardiff, among the current squad, having played 278 games for the club.
He has played 20 out of 30 Premier League games this season, netting a single goal.
