The rich Qatari clubs are keen to capitalise on the England defender’s uncertain future at Old Trafford, according to the Daily Mail.
Qatari side Lekhwiya are planning to make a shock move for Ferdinand, but face competition from the country’s most successful club, Al Sadd.
Al Sadd have reportedly sounded out Ferdinand’s representatives over a move.
Ferdinand’s current contract with United is set to expire in the summer of 2013.
