Sky Sports UK has reported Bournemouth, who finished 12th, this season are bidding to sign the 21-year-old, while giants Chelsea and Liverpool have also made enquiries.
The potential transfer fee starts at around $1.8 million dollars and can reach $4 million with bonuses and deals.
Bournemouth are owned by Bill Foley, the American businessman behind the Auckland FC club joining the A-League next season.
Paulsen gained several accolades including A-League Goalkeeper of the Year, Young Footballer of the Year, Fans Player of the Year and PFA Team of the Year.
His penalty-saving record was noted, while he had 12 clean sheets for the Phoenix, who reached the A-League semifinals.
