The current Miss Universe is said to have expressed a desire to work with Khan in Partner 2 reports Mumbai Mirror.
A source told the tabloid: "Ximena will romance Salman Khan in the Partner sequel."
Although Katrina Kaif appeared opposite the Dabangg star in the original hit comedy, there are no plans for the actress to reprise the role.
"The makers were looking for the female lead in the film and felt that Ximena fits the bill but she will have to learn Hindi and some Bollywood dance moves for her role," added the source.
Navarrete is said to have started taking Hindi lessons in preparation for the film.
