The Scottish champions have already seen an opening offer of around £4 million rejected, with the newly-promoted Bundesliga outfit unwilling to part with the 22-year-old despite him entering the final year of his contract.
Although Paderborn insist they are under no pressure to cash in, Kettemann acknowledged there remains a possibility that both Baur and teammate Laurin could depart before the transfer window closes.
