Racing 92 president Jacky Lorenzetti says Ali Williams "will soon be dismissed" following his cocaine arrest last month.
French police charged Williams with buying cocaine and Toulon's Australian international James O'Connor with possession of the drug.
The pair were arrested outside a nightclub near the Champs Elysees in possession of 2.4 grams of cocaine on February 25.
Both were suspended by their clubs.
"Unfortunately, Ali Williams will soon be dismissed," Lorenzetti told Midi Olympique. The club confirmed the information to AFP.
"But that will not stop us from listening to him and giving him a hand outside of rugby. Personally, I just advised him to take some time out."
Williams, 35, a World Cup winner with New Zealand in 2011, was also stripped of his ambassadorial role for Racing 92.
He was taken on by Racing at the end of 2015 in a public relations role for Lorenzetti's wine company and as a media adviser to star fly-half Dan Carter.
Williams "returned a negative test for coke," said Lorenzetti, contrary to O'Connor. "I'm not saying that he's not a consumer. But I saw him Monday and he was devastated.
"His life has dramatically shifted. Ali had a boulevard, even a highway ahead of him. He could have done great things at the New Zealand federation or elsewhere."
The two Top 14 stars will appear before a disciplinary commission of the French National Rugby League on March 29.
