Napoli consider Ambro
Friday 12 June, 2009

Napoli Coach Roberto Donadoni is thinking about making an offer for Milan talisman Massimo Ambrosini, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

The 32-year-old midfielder has been with the Rossoneri since 1995 and would take some convincing to leave San Siro.

Donadoni believes he is the perfect player to add personality to his midfield, which is relatively young and inexperienced.

Ambrosini would be flanked by the likes of Luca Cigarini, Walter Gargano and Marek Hamsik, who are all under 25.

Donadoni has known the player for a long time and the friendship between the two could bring about an otherwise unlikely transfer.

However, while Ambrosini only has a year left on his contract, he is widely expected to become Milan's captain next season.

The honour of following in the footsteps of the recently retired Paolo Maldini could well prove too much of a reason to stay.

Ambrosini has made 240 appearances for Milan down the years, winning three Scudetti and two Champions League titles.
