Dortmund have been looking for a new leader on the pitch since Marco Reus announced his decision to step down as captain last week.
Gregor Kobel has been touted as a candidate, but Süle is a much more realistic option, according to Bild, who puts the chances of the centre-back becoming the new captain at 50 percent.
On the one hand, Süle is experienced and has won a number of titles in the past, including the Bundesliga five times, the DFB-Pokal twice and the Champions League once. On the other hand, he's very popular in the team, especially with the younger players.
