The 24-year-old midfielder’s contract expires in 2016 and Dortmund want to avoid losing Gündoğan on a free transfer.
Manchester United and Liverpool have also been closely linked with Gündoğan.
Gündoğan was one of the central figures of the Dortmund side that reached the final of the UEFA Champions League in the 2012-13 season.
Gündoğan has scored on goal in 12 appearances for Dortmund this season.
