New York City have until 31 December to trigger a one-year extension to Frank Lampard's contract.
Lampard, 38, played the final game of his initial two-year deal with the Major League Soccer outfit as they lost 5-0 to Toronto at Yankee Stadium.
It completed an 8-0 aggregate defeat and eliminated NYC from the play-offs.
Lampard, who signed for NYC after leaving Chelsea in 2014, has scored 12 times in 16 games this year, including a hat-trick against Colorado Rapids.

England v Scotland (Friday, 19:45 GMT)
What do you reckon?
How should Scotland line-up on Friday at Wembley?
You can pick your starting 11 from Gordon Strachan's Scotland squad using our line-up tool.
It is less harmonious north of the border.
Stoke City midfielder Charlie Adam believes his "face does not fit" in the Scotland squad - and thinks manager Gordon Strachan is not picking the best players available to him.
Adam, 30, has played seven times for Stoke this season but has not featured for his country since June 2015.
"He will probably say I've not played enough games but I disagree," Adam told BBC Radio 5 live's Monday Night Club.
"I'm not saying he should call me, but I feel I could add something."
The Stoke City midfielder is frustrated at being overlooked to play for his country.
Here is more on the story which features heavily on this morning's back pages.
England interim boss Gareth Southgate has defended Manchester United's Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw after criticism from their club manager, Jose Mourinho.
The United boss questioned the English defenders for missing Sunday's 3-1 Premier League win at Swansea, saying: "For the team, you have to do anything."
Southgate said there was "obviously something wrong" with both players.
Asked by media if the two players were "flaky" characters, he replied: "That wouldn't be my impression.
"Luke I know well and he's had a really tough injury. I think very often it's easy to look from the outside or to make judgements on people without knowing them really, really well."
