RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) -- AC Milan are monitoring Brazilian pair Everton Soares and Rodrigo Dourado as they seek to bolster their squad in the January transfer window, according to press reports in Brazil.

Everton was Gremio's leading scorer with 19 goals across all competitions in 2018 and he was rewarded for his consistency by earning a maiden call-up to Brazil's national team.

The 22-year-old, who has an 80 million-euro release clause written into his current contract, has also been linked with both Manchester United and Manchester City.

Dourado has shone this year in a defensive midfield role for Internacional, who are seeking 12-15 million euros for the 24-year-old, according to Globesporte.

Other European teams to have shown interest in Dourado include Hertha Berlin and Benfica, it added.

AC Milan are already guaranteed of one Brazilian signing in January after securing Flamengo midfielder Lucas Paqueta in October for 35 million euros.
