Strasbourg sign Madrid academy striker Jacobo Ortega

Strasbourg have signed Jacobo Ortega from Real Madrid. The center forward leaves the Madrid academy and heads to Ligue 1 on Monday. The deal comes after Strasbourg sold two players to Ipswich, bringing in more than five times what they spent on Ortega. The transfer fee is recouped and then some. Ortega is a young prospect. Strasbourg's strategy is clear: buy low, develop, sell high. This move fits that model.
