Bayer are reported to be demanding a transfer fee between £17.5 million and £26.5 million [€20m – €30m].
The deal has not been completed yet and the BILD recently linked Arsenal, Tottenham and Everton with Calhanoglu.
The Premier League clubs linked with the Turkish international will however, have to act fast if they want to hijack the deal.
Calhanoglu is expected to complete his Bayer exit once he completes his four month ban.
The 23-year-old was given the ban in February for breach of contract after signing for Trabzonspor as a teenager but never joining the club.
The Germany born star was in great form until his suspension, scoring seven goals and seven assists in all competitions.
Calhanoglu waived his wages for the duration of the ban and now looks set to leave the club.
