Al-Rayyan announced the signing of 32-year-old Nzonzi on social media, but did not detail the length of his contract or the transfer fee.
FC Roma has loaned out Nzonzi over the past two years to Galatasaray and Rennes.
The French national joined the Italian club from Sevilla after playing for France’s World Cup winning squad in 2018. Nzonzi played in the final as a second-half substitute in France’s 4-2 win over Croatia that brought Paris its golden trophy.

Nzonzi’s transfer to the club comes only a few days after Colombian international James Rodriguez left his English club to join the Qatar Stars League team for an “undisclosed fee.”
Al Rayyan SC confirmed the transfer on its official social media pages and posted an invitation to fans across the country to attend the presentation ceremony for the football star.
