Bowyer will sit down with the club this week and the Championship side hope to wrap up the deal over the weekend.
It comes after Charlton confirmed the their takeover by an Abu Dhabi-based consortium had been completed.
East Street Investments have ended Roland Duchatelet’s six-year run at the helm.
Charlton announced their new owners in late November in a statement which crashed their club website.
There is a new director in His Excellency Tahnoon Nimer, who is the Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Business Development – the private office of Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan.
He is the majority shareholder in East Street Investments and will sit on the new board.
Joining him as another director is Jonathan Heller, with Southall as chairman.
Outgoing owner Duchatelet confirmed: “It was vital for the long-term health of Charlton Athletic that this was completed at the very start of the January transfer window.
“It allows the new owners to commit resources to the football side in order to bring in new players who will help secure the club’s position in the Championship.
“This is a hugely exciting time for everybody involved with Charlton Athletic and I believe the club is in safe hands with His Excellency Tahnoon Nimer, Matt Southall and Jonathan Heller.”
