Deutsche Bank executives are heading to the United States in the coming days to negotiate a settlement over a fine of up to $US14 billion ($A18 billion) for misselling mortgage-backed securities, the Frankfurter Allegemeine Zeitung reports.

The potential fine, announced two weeks ago, has sent shares in Germany's biggest lender into freefall.

On Friday, the stock partially recovered after a media report that the two sides were close to a settlement of $US5.4 billion.

The FAZ did not cite any sources for its report.

Deutsche Bank did not immediately respond to a request for comment on chief executive John Cryan's travel plans.
