Boca seal Saracchi loan exit, eye Taborda sale in the transfer market | OneFootball

Boca has managed to arrange the loan of Uruguayan defender Marcelo Saracchi to Celtic in Scotland for one year and is close to selling midfielder Vicente Taborda, who is on loan at Platense, to Panathinaikos in Greece.

The transfer window is coming to an end on August 31st, and the 'Xeneize' has agreed to the loan of Uruguayan defender Saracchi to Celtic in Scotland for one year. The deal is for a fee of $100,000 and without an option to buy.

The former River player was not considered by coach Miguel Ángel Russo for this second half of the year and his last match was against Bayern Munich in the second round of Group C of the FIFA Club World Cup.

In this context, the Uruguayan sought a way out of the club and was close to landing at Independiente, but the deal fell through until the appearance of Celtic in Scotland. Saracchi will undergo a medical check-up in the English capital of London and will apply for his visa on Wednesday.

On the other hand, Taborda is close to moving to Panathinaikos in Greece. The midfielder had a great first half at Platense where he was champion of Argentine football and, thanks to this performance, the European club made an offer to Boca, the owner of his pass, for a figure close to 4.5 million euros for 80 percent of the player's rights.

The 'Xeneize' would keep the 20 percent of the rights of the 24-year-old midfielder and the good relationship between Platense and Boca would facilitate the negotiations.
