Gundogan would become the third player of Turkish heritage born in Germany at the club if the transfer were to go ahead with Emre Can and Samed Yesil being the other two.
The 24-year-old would join Can in central midfield if he were to make the move being deployed with a similar box-to-box role.
Gundogan’s current contract with Dortmund expires in June next year but he is reported to have refused to sign a new deal.
The Reds could however, face competition from Manchester City and Arsenal who are also locked in a race to sign Gundogan according to the Daily Mail.
