Hernan Crespo refuses to write off Goncalo Ramos at AC Milan but warns striker is 'not a top player'

Former AC Milan forward Hernan Crespo has urged supporters to remain patient with Goncalo Ramos following his slow start in Italy. While acknowledging the Portuguese forward's relentless work ethic on the pitch, the Argentine insisted the club-record recruit has never been an elite goalscorer and will always divide opinion due to his massive price tag.

Ramos finds himself under intense scrutiny after registering just one goal across his opening five Serie A outings. The pressure continues to mount after the San Siro hierarchy sanctioned a €74 million package to sign him from Paris Saint-Germain in June 2026. Despite arriving with an enviable collection of silverware from France, the Portuguese forward's output in front of goal has fallen short of supporters' lofty expectations.
