I suppose the obvious questions are, why isn't he in the Brasil U20 squad and how would he get a work permit.

I hope you get an infraction for this post. What a load of horseshite it is.
Back on track, his manager has apparently spoken which suggests the interest may be real.

Brasileiro - the main league competition. The competitive one.
Gaúcho - this is the state championship. The not-so-competitive one, as it contains all the clubs in a certain state, which aren't all from the top flight. Pelé's goal tally is often said to be inflated because of goals in state championships.
Read the rules and don't post such shit...
Giving your opnion is not forbidden on this forum in fact it is encouraged. Asking for a ban because you don't like the content of someones post however that is an infraction with the forum rules.
This is the forum equivalent of Sergio Busquets screaming at the referee and waving an imaginary yellow card after he dived!!!
He's playing right now for Internacional away at Corinthians. Just went half time and they lead 1-0. From what I've seen, he seems quite slick and elegant. Very good on the ball, and very much playing in the Carrick role.
Internacional have had less of the ball though, so he's had to hold his position quite a bit. Skipped past a couple of players very well at times and doesn't seem to get panicked when being closed down. This is a rivalry so will be interesting to see how the 2nd half pans out, he'll need to show some real good temperament for such a young guy. Live on BT Sport 1 by the way.

Suddenly, for a second, I thought I was back at school.
Me or him?
I'd like to point out that I was obviously joking about the infraction part, but I disagree completely with what @NoArroJusBeta said @Raoul. Apologies if it seemed a bit more serious that was intended.
Would love him here, his nickname should be Sandstorm: Dourado - sandstorm
Really impressed by Dourado in today's game, first time I've seen him play. They ended up losing 2-1, but Dourado really stood out for Internacional.
Excellent composure on the ball, only misplaced one noticeable pass all game (and he wasn't just playing safe but also playmaking from a deeper role), took the initiative when on the ball despite being the youngest player in the team (I think), able to play it simple and long, great awareness, good engine and tried to pass and move into space and he also made a few great interceptions.
His best moment though was probably when he made a last-ditch, perfectly timed slide tackle on Vagner Love who was clean through on goal after a counter attack from an Internacional corner. He got the ball clean and took the responsibility when the whole defence was out of place. That's what was particularly impressive about him tonight, he showed great maturity in a difficult game and hostile atmosphere for a 20 year old holding midfielder.

Agreed V, very mature and composed performance and the talent is obvious.
I finally got around to watching the game last night, it was the kind of performance that was efficient and effective, not a highlight reel one but an impressive one in context of watching the full match. His composure and confidence on the ball as well as his knack for picking the right pass was excellent.
Oh dear
absolutely forgot about this crazy-haired guy, good report on dourado, never seen him play, I 'd think we are after someone more ready.. but if Anderson approves
Dourado has that Possebon look about him. Ando probably talked up the all you can eat canteen at AON.
They keep it simple but allow players such as myself to attack.
