The German has been unemployed since he quit the Dortmund post at the end of last season.
The Mirror reports that contact has already been made with the 44-year-old's representatives, but it is understood Tuchel does not want to rush a decision.
Toffees U23 boss David Unsworth, also a contender for the job, will take charge for this weekend's trip to Stamford Bridge after Ronald Koeman was sacked on Monday.
