Al-Ettifaq FC, soon to be managed by Steven Gerrard, are understood to be the latest to try and pitch to Wilfried Zaha.
The Ivory Coast international is a free agent and has been looking, ideally, for a Champions League side.
A number of clubs have come forward but have yet to convince him to commit.
Crystal Palace remain open to re-signing and the Saudi Pro-League are also making efforts.
Gerrard had initially decided against going to Saudi Arabia but talks have resumed in recent days with the Dammam-based side – and he has now reportedly agreed to join as their new head coach next season.
Wilfried Zaha is out of contract at Crystal Palace as of June 30 and is considering his options

Zaha recently sent supporters into overdrive with a cryptic photo posted to his social media a day before his contract with the Eagles expired on June 30.
As he mulls over his options, he posted a picture to Instagram of himself at the club’s Copers Cope training ground in Beckenham.
Many fans speculated that this was a sign he would be staying at Selhurst Park but his future remains unclear.
Zaha is currently weighing up a club-record £200,000-a-week offer from Palace as well as multiple money-spinning offers in England and abroad.
