Marcelo Saracchi Transfer from Boca Juniors to Celtic

Daily Record reports that Marcelo Saracchi, who is on loan at Celtic from Boca Juniors, has made his first start for the club.

Marcelo Saracchi has been signed by Celtic Glasgow on loan from Boca Juniors for the 2025/26 season, pending international clearance. Saracchi is a 27-year-old Uruguayan defender with nine caps for the national team. He has prior experience in South America and Europe, having played against Celtic in the UEFA Europa League in 2018 with Leipzig.

Daily Record reports on the upcoming transfer of Marcelo Saracchi to Glasgow. Marcelo Saracchi is bound for Glasgow after an agreement was reached with Boca Juniors to green light his switch. In a surprise move, he is signing an extension with Boca before sealing a season-long loan in Glasgow without an option to buy. Celtic will pay a fee of around £75,000 and his wage packet during his time in Glasgow. Saracchi played against Celtic twice while with Leipzig and will act as Kieran Tierney's understudy.

Reports in Argentina have claimed that the Uruguayan international believes a move to Celtic is "his best option" and his inner circle have told Boca he wants to make the switch. Talks have taken a step forward over a one-year loan with a fee and a purchase option. The initial offer to buy from Celtic had fallen below the player's valuation, but the proposal has been adjusted and Boca Juniors are now willing to release the player. However, the final decision lies with boss Miguel Ángel Russo.

Premiership champions Celtic are looking to acquire Marcelo Saracchi, a 27-year-old Uruguayan player, from Boca Juniors. The experienced left-back has reportedly caught the attention of Brendan Rodgers' team as they discuss the finer details with Boca Juniors, aiming to secure a back-up for Kieran Tierney. Signing specialist Cesar Luis Merlo mentioned that Boca already has a loan offer for one year with a fee and a purchase option, and he believes that if Celtic were to improve the amounts of the option, the deal could be feasible. Saracchi's contract with Boca Juniors is set to expire at the end of 2027, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €1.50m.
