Murray was beaten in the first round of the Italian Open and last week made another early exit on clay after losing against Stan Wawrinka at an ATP Challenger event in Bordeaux.
The 36-year-old is understood to still be considering which tournaments to target; they may include Surbiton on 4-11 June and then Queen's Club on 19-25 June. Wimbledon is scheduled to start on 3 July.
Murray had struggled for form on clay after proving he was physically in condition to take on the world's best players with some marathon matches at the Australian Open at the start of the year.
The former world No 1, bidding to revive his career after major hip surgery in 2018, came through two five-set victories against Matteo Berrettini and Thanasi Kokkinakis before losing against Roberto Bautista Agut in the third round.
