Malaga swoop for Real Madrid striker Portillo

Malaga have swooped for Real Madrid striker Javier Portillo.

The 23 year-old is moving to Malaga on-loan, after playing last season in a similar deal at Lazio.

Portillo's agent, Herminio Menéndez, closed the deal with Malaga officials on Wednesday. But there is some delay as the two clubs settle on a fee should Malaga choose to make the transfer permanent at the end of the season.
