And he will link up with Liverpool legend Gerrard for the next month on a training basis.
Fabrizio Romano adds if Lingard impresses during his effective trial, he could end up joining Al-Ettifaq permanently.
Lingard, 30, remains without a club despite his Forest contract ending in June.
He scored twice in 20 appearances for Steve Cooper’s side.
And Lingard has since been training with former loan side West Ham, where he previously netted nine times in 16 games.
However, an offer to rejoin David Moyes’ side has not materialised.
And Lingard could now become the fifth ex-Premier League star to link up with Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq.
Former Liverpool duo Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum, ex-Everton winger Demarai Gray and one-time Fulham star Moussa Dembele all ply their trade under Gerrard.
