CONTRACT OFFER: John Terry has been offered a one-year extension
The Daily Express report the Blues hero could return, while Guus Hiddink could stay on to coach youngsters.
Terry was offered a one-year extension by Chelsea earlier this week despite being 35 and could be joined by the old guard in Lampard and the current interim boss.
Hiddink believes Lampard would be excited and would want to return to the club.
"I can see that," he said. "He was recently here when having treatment for his injury and he modestly asked if he could be treated by our physios.
RETURN: Could Frank Lampard be on his way back to Chelsea?
"I said yes, course. He was a legend asking me and he wanted to be out of hours, when the boys were either not here or gone.
"I said, no, no. You are one of this family and we would love you to come when everyone is here.
"The youngsters loved it. They can learn a lot from him and can accelerate their careers by having an eye on someone big like Lampard."
Hiddink also revealed he has had discussions over staying at Stamford Bridge despite Antonio Conte replacing him at the end of the season.
He added: "We have talked about this and the problem of ageing," he added.
"I am getting near 70. I still feel fresh and energetic and still think I can do it, but there are also other projects I want to do.
"But you never know. I will take a rest and think of the development of Chelsea's youngsters and other teams and weigh up my options.
"When you fade away that's it. I am not fading away because I love the game. When I see young guys coming in and see there their desire if lifts me."
Chelsea finish their Premier League campaign later today when they host champions Leicester.
