Al-Rayyan, one of Qatar's most prestigious clubs and eight-time domestic champions, have submitted an offer in an attempt to sign the 26-year-old, hoping to take advantage of his contract situation.
Sancho is currently weighing up his options after a difficult few years in England that included loan spells at Chelsea and Aston Villa, with whom he won the Conference League and Europa League respectively, following his ill-fated €85 million move to Old Trafford from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.
The England international has also been linked with a possible return to Borussia Dortmund, where he enjoyed the best form of his career between 2017 and 2021, scoring 53 goals and providing 57 assists in 158 appearances for the Bundesliga club. That reported interest from Germany means Sancho arrives at a pivotal juncture in his career, weighing a return to a familiar and successful environment against the financial security and fresh start a move to the Gulf could offer.
Sancho made just 83 appearances for Manchester United across five years, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists, a return that fell well short of expectations after his big-money arrival.
United confirmed his departure as a free agent last month alongside several other players, including Casemiro and Tyrell Malacia, bringing an end to a spell in Manchester regarded as one of the club's more expensive transfer mistakes of the past decade.
Al-Rayyan's approach reflects the growing ambitions of Qatari clubs to attract recognisable names from Europe's top leagues, even for players who have struggled to rediscover their best form.
With no permanent club since leaving Old Trafford, and interest also lingering from elsewhere, Sancho's next move is likely to be closely watched, whichever direction he ultimately chooses to take his career in.
