Lance Stroll, whose father Lawrence is spearheading the consortium that has bought the team, is now linked with a 2019 seat.
When asked what his own plans are for next year, Perez said: "I'm lucky that I have a number of options.
"Of course, we all want to drive for the two best teams, but it's really unlikely I will be there next season," he is quoted by Finland's MTV.
"So I have to think about what is the best option for me. The best place to show my skills," Perez added.
"In the previous two years I was the best driver outside the top three teams. I want to see what is possible with the teams that have free seats and then I'll make my decision.
"But I also want to see what's happening here, because outside of the top three teams I think Force India has the most potential," he said.
The 28-year-old said he is in no rush to make his decision.
"I have no hurry because I know I'm in good shape. I believe during the summer break I will have a good idea of what's going on here and after that I can make a decision," added Perez.
Haas would do well to get Perez. Although he is not one of the drivers I like, he is talented. And it would be intersting to have the two Maclaren exes on the same team. I think Kmag and Perez would be a solid line up to move Haas to the next level. Especially with the Ferrari PU coming on so strong.

I dont. Going to Williams would be to waste Perez money and talent.
