While a source told the website that no offer has formally been extended as of yet, Cyrus could be approached in the coming weeks.
Avril Lavigne, who was first rumoured to be in contention for X Factor USA in February, is also said to still be in the running for the position.
Britney Spears was recently reported to be in the final stages of securing her contract to join the singing competition's panel.
Cowell has said that Spears would be a "fascinating" addition to The X Factor USA and he would love to sit beside her.
