A deal has reportedly been agreed, and the German club have sent an official to England to help facilitate the deal.
Dortmund have been linked with a number of similar players to the about to depart Mkhitaryan.
Bayer Leverkusen have confirmed they received an offer for winger Karim Bellarabi, but the club has turned it down.
"There was an official request from Dortmund a few days ago, but it was instantly rejected." Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller said.
"To sell Karim is not an option for us at Leverkusen. He is definitely staying, he is not for sale."

Mkhitaryan joined Dortmund in 2013 from Shakhtar Donetsk for £23.5m.
He was voted Bundesliga player of the year last season. He scored 18 goals and has 20 assists to his credit last season for Dortmund and will come in as a great attacking asset for United.
