Khan is keen to fight the winner of Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao on May 2, but would need to overcome a tough prospect in Broner.
Khan has won his past four fights after suffering back-to-back defeats to Lamont Petersen and Danny Garcia in 2012.
Kel Brook is also chasing a fight against Khan with the Bolton boxer promising to meet his British rival at Wembley within the year.
