The 30-year-old Nigerian international joined the Cottagers from Sunderland in 2008 for around £1.5m.
Stoke would be expected to pay the same fee for his services next season, according to The Sun.
Etuhu began his career in England with Manchester City over 10 years ago before spells with Preston North End and Norwich City.
