Both caught the eye of Milan coach Clarence Seedorf during the former Dutch international`s 18-month spell as a player at Botafogo, which ended last month, reported Xinhua. Central defender Doria is Brazil`s under-20 captain and has also been linked to Barcelona and Juventus. Gabriel, 21, is a central midfielder who is known to be highly rated by Seedorf.
