The England international has played for Everton since 2016 and has made 252 appearances for the club, scoring 70 goals and providing 19 assists.
Sources have told Football Insider that Calvert-Lewin will have no shortage of takers in England if he becomes a free agent.
Newcastle United are one club that are keen to sign the striker if he becomes available.
