The Nigeria centre-back has become increasingly concerned at a lack of starting opportunities at Goodison Park after slipping behind Phil Jagielka and Joleon Lescott in the pecking order, and is in no hurry to commit himself to a new deal.
Everton boss Moyes is likely to invite offers now, rather than risk losing Yobo for nothing next season.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is a confirmed admirer of the 28-year-old and has identified central defence as a priority area for strengthening, but he could face competition from Manchester City.
