The Argentinian club Estudiantes are interested in Marcelo Saracchi, and another club from the country, Independiente, are also monitoring him. The 28-year-old left-back's current club, Boca Juniors, are actively seeking to sell him after informing Saracchi that he is not part of their plans. Celtic are also exploring a deal for the player's return, and manager Martin O'Neill confirmed that the club has initiated talks with the player's agent. Saracchi is a Uruguayan international with 11 caps whose contract with Boca Juniors, which he joined in August 2023, runs until December 2027. His market value is listed as €2.00m by Transfermarkt. According to reports in July 2026, Boca Juniors would consider offers of at least $3 million (~€2.8 million), while separate reports from June 2026 suggested that a fee of around £2 million (~€2.35 million) or €1.5 million would be sufficient for a deal.
