He cost £30million in 2018 and made 99 appearances for the Toffees.
Injury hampered the centre-back during his time on Merseyside and he left at the end of the 2022/23 season having played just eight games that campaign.
Those problems persisted following his move to Fiorentina, where he played just six times in one season.
He has spent the last two years at Serie A side Cagliari and was ever-present last year, scoring one goal in 31 games.
Meanwhile Everton’s transfer activity has been quiet so far this summer.
Boss David Moyes says he needs “five or six” players in the next week, after his side lost 3-0 to Bournemouth in a friendly.
He said: “We’ve signed three, so if you take that off, we’re still in the need of maybe five or six players.
“That’s what we have to try and do.
“In the past I probably have had to sign a lot of players, but I’ve never had to do so many in one window as we need now.”
Moyes suggested that he and the club’s new Friedkin Group owners are paying for the chaos of the final years under Farhad Moshiri.
He said: “We’re sort of picking up a little bit of what we’re at the end of now.
“We had a lot of people out of contracts, a lot of loan players, because of the financial situation.
“So we’re having to sort of find a way around that and we’re trying really, really hard behind the scenes to get things done.
“But you can see we’re going to need it.
“We’ve got no centre-halves and we’re really struggling.”
