The Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) is planning to approach Bielsa, who has been out of a job since leaving Athletic Bilbao last June, in time for Peru's friendly against England at Wembley on May 30, local media reported on Friday.
"We have entrusted (FPF president) Manuel Burga with talking to professor Bielsa," FPF vice president Alfredo Brito said after a FPF board meeting in Lima.
"We're going to exhaust all possible means because one has to recognise he did a good job in Chile," Brito was quoted as saying on the daily El Comercio's website (www.elcomercio.pe).
Peru have been without a coach since Uruguayan Sergio Markarian quit after his team failed to qualify for this year's World Cup finals in Brazil.
England have set up two other warm-up friendlies against fellow World Cup finalists Ecuador and Honduras in Miami in early June. The finals begin on June 12.
