But it is understood the League One club are seriously considering offering the former England midfielder a first job in management.
Oxford are looking for a new boss following Michael Appleton’s departure for Leicester, where he will work as Craig Shakespeare’s assistant.
Lampard announced his retirement from playing in February after a career which brought three Premier League titles, four FA Cups and a Champions League with Chelsea.
The 39-year-old also won 106 England caps and scored a club record 211 goals during his time at Stamford Bridge.
