The England midfielder, who struggled on loan at West Ham United during part of last season, is on the market.
Per the Liverpool Echo, the Toffees do have long standing interest in signing Phillips.
Both Everton and Fulham want a midfielder, having lost Amadou Onana and Joao Palhinha respectively.
Fulham boss Marco Silva even admitted this week that his team would sign a Palhinha replacement.
