According to Kicker, Özcan initially wanted to run down his contract, which expires on Wednesday, but new Köln coach Steffen Baumgart has made the 23-year-old change his mind.
"Talks are ongoing," said FC Köln sporting director Jörg Jakobs.
"Both sides can well imagine [a contract extension]. Now we have to see if we can reach an agreement."
Özcan, a former German youth international, has featured 94 times for FC Köln, racking up two goals and six assists.
