Borussia Dortmund are planning to open contract talks with Gregor Kobel over a new deal that would extend his stay beyond 2028 in the coming weeks, according to Sport Bild.
The Black and Yellows are hoping to reach an agreement with the goalkeeper before the end of the year.
However, while the Swiss international is understood to be open to staying at the club, an extension is far from guaranteed, with the 28-year-old continuing to attract interest from abroad.
According to the report, Paris Saint-Germain have shown consistent interest in Kobel and have “repeatedly made enquiries” about his future plans.
Since selling Gianluigi Donnarumma to Manchester City in 2025, PSG have relied on Matvey Safonov as their first-choice goalkeeper, but Kobel is seemingly being considered as a potential replacement.
Newcastle United already made a move for Kobel last summer and reportedly offered him a contract worth around €13 million per year – approximately €3 million more than his current annual salary at Dortmund.
However, the 28-year-old ultimately decided against a move, having deemed Newcastle's sporting prospects too uncertain.
The coming weeks will show whether Dortmund can convince Kobel that his future remains with the Black and Yellows, despite interest from PSG and other top clubs abroad.
