Al-Ahli are moving for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
The Morocco international is a 25m target for Manchester United amid claims he is prioritising a move to Old Trafford.
However, L'quipe says Al-Ahli have now stepped in and want to sign the 26-year-old midfielder.
The Saudis club has already secured stars Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez, Edouard Mendy and most recently Allan Saint-Maximin, who was presented on Sunday.
Amrabat is ready to leave Fiorentina this summer, though a move to United may be in doubt with Al-Ahli firming up their interest this week.
