Hide AdNapoli have been tracking the Albion man for some time and Luciano Spalletti’s team, who finished third last term, are keen to bolster their defence ahead of their Champions League campaign.
The 22-year-old Norway international joined Brighton from Molde in 2018 but never made a Premier League appearance.
He had loan spells at FC St. Pauli, Coventry and Stoke City.
Ostigard’s exit arrives soon after Albion defender Haydon Roberts agreed a season long loan at Derby County.
Graham Potter will also have defensive decisions to make on Shane Duffy, who wants regular first team football, Matt Clarke and Jan Paul van Hecke.
