It is being reported by Italian journalist Pasquale Giacometti that Ambrosino will be definitely leave Napoli this summer.
However, he adds that the club are still trying to figure out the best way to move forward with his exit, whether it be a loan or permanent departure.
Giacometti said: “Behind the scenes #Ambrosino: initially, he was supposed to be among those called up for the Dimaro training camp with #Napoli, but with the arrival of Lorenzo #Lucca, it was decided to leave him at Castel Volturno.
“He will definitely be transferred, but it is still being determined which formula would be the best.”
