With Chelsea and Manchester United reportedly looking to sign current number one Asmir Begovic, the Daily Mail claims that Al-Habsi will be signed as his replacement.
The Oman international has been training with Reading this week with a view to a possible move, but could now join the Potters instead.
Al-Habsi, 33, left Wigan Athletic at the end of the 2014-15 season.
