Al Rayyan are pushing to sign Real Madrid striker Mariano Diaz.
AS says the Qataris are eager to ferry Mariano away from Europe - but without having to pay a fee.
Al Rayyan would be willing to better Mariano's current 4m salary to convince him about the move.
Al Rayyan have been eager to sign a high level No9 since last summer.
They had contacted Atletico Nadrid striker Diego Costa and Juventus' Mario Mandzukic, but in both cases the negotiations did not come to fruition.
