Historic sale, Real Madrid send Jacobo Ortega to Strasbourg 💰 | OneFootball

Real Madrid officially announced on Monday the transfer of Jacobo Ortega to Racing Club de Strasbourg. The 20-year-old striker from Madrid is heading to Ligue 1 after completing an impeccable development in the club’s academy.

Although no official figures have been disclosed, the total value of the deal could reach €10 million in exchange for 70% of the player’s rights. This operation is the highest sale in the history of La Fábrica for a player who had not made his official debut with the first team.

As is customary in the club’s policy with its young talents, the Madrid side will retain a percentage of his rights. In addition, the sporting department has agreed on matching rights clauses and buy-back options so as not to lose control over his future.

Key figure in the Youth League triumph

Ortega was a key player last season in winning the UEFA Youth League. He scored 18 goals across Juvenil A, Real Madrid C, and Castilla, dazzling with his physical power and finishing efficiency.

Despite strong interest from La Liga clubs such as Elche, the forward has opted for the French proposal. He will make the jump to professional football with the aim of establishing himself among Europe’s elite.
