The former Everton striker Oumar Niasse will ignore interest from Middlesbrough and Derby County in favour of a move abroad, according to Teamtalk.
Niasse is without a club after his Everton contract expired at the end of last season.
But it is claimed that the Senegalese has attracted attention from Middlesbrough and Derby in the meantime.
It was the Boro manager Neil Warnock who brought Niasse to Cardiff City on loan in January 2019, while the 30-year-old’s former Everton teammate Wayne Rooney is now at Derby.
But Niasse is said to have ‘big money offers’ from clubs in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on the table.
Everton are reported to have paid around £16 million for the former Lokomotiv Moscow player in February 2016.
But he only played 42 times for Everton and scored or assisted 13 goals.
Both Middlesbrough and Derby were able to strengthen their attacking options in the summer transfer window, landing Chuba Akpom and Colin Kazim-Riachards respectively.
