The popstar who has appeared on the show a number of times as a performer, could be the judging panel's new 'top dog' if Cowell decides to take a back seat to focus on the US version of the show.
It is thought that the Take That star's cheeky sense of humour and outspokenness would make him the perfect replacement for the music mogul.
An insider told The Daily Star: 'Robbie is a huge name so would naturally be a massive ratings hit. Not only that, he is also straight-talking and comical.
'We all understand that right now America is where Simon's focus has to be. There aren't many people that can fill his shoes, but Robbie just might be able to do it.'
However, TV bosses are also thought to be considering Gary Barlow for a role on the judging panel, which could bring up some old rivalries between the two singers.
Speaking to The Sun after the National Television Awards last week, Cowell said that none of last year's judging panel have been given new contracts yet.
'I think there are going to be a few surprises. I genuinely do. I don't think there's one set way of doing it. I am currently in conversations with ITV and Fox,' he added.

Robbie will meet the acts during rehearsals and give them tips on their performances as they prepare for the big Saturday night show. Then fans can enjoy watching him sing his new tracks live. A senior insider said: “This is a massive coup to get Robbie. We’ve had some great acts in the past like Westlife, Beyoncé and Britney come on the show.“But Robbie will be a big ratings puller for us this year.”Robbie is a huge X Factor fan and he has even admitted that he regularly dials up and votes in the contest. The singer said: “I always phone in and vote.“It becomes the most important thing in your life at that moment.“I voted for three or four people on the last X Factor.”However, TV judge Louis Walsh, 57, might shy away from meeting the star.
