Healy has won the Northern Irish league title five times during his nine years in charge at Windsor Park but is eager to test himself elsewhere.
And Raith are confident they will be able to land the four-times NIFL Manager of the Year.
Healy spent a season in Scottish football with Rangers in 2011, towards the end of a goal-laden career which took him from Manchester United to Leeds, Fulham, Sunderland and Preston.
He took over as Linfield boss in 2015 and has presided over a period of success in Belfast, lifting six cups to go with his league title wins.
