Marcelo Saracchi makes his mind up on Boca future | OneFootball

Boca is going through a difficult sporting situation that is indirectly affecting the club institutionally. After the defeat against Huracán, Xeneize reached the worst streak in its history and, on top of that, internal tensions are rising. In this context, Marcelo Saracchi, one of the players sidelined by Miguel Ángel Russo, has made an important decision about his future at the Ribera club.

Marcelo Saracchi, along with Marcos Rojo and Cristian Lema, are the three players sidelined by Russo who are training separately from the professional squad. After differences with the coaching staff, the players are not even allowed to enter the locker room with the rest of their teammates, something that did not sit well with those around them.

Saracchi was close to moving to Independiente.

One of the reasons why the Uruguayan defender was completely sidelined by the 69-year-old coach was reportedly his push to leave the club due to a lack of playing time. Tired of training apart from the group and with no chance of getting minutes, the fullback’s agent met with the Football Council to discuss his departure.

Unlike the situations of Rojo and Lema, whose contracts end in December, Saracchi is under contract with Boca until 2027, so the management does not want to let him go easily. However, they told him he could look for an offer to finalize his exit, as long as it is a loan with an obligation to buy or a permanent transfer. For his part, the Uruguayan feels his cycle at Xeneize is over, and the treatment he has received has only increased his discontent at the club.

Marcelo Saracchi’s numbers at Boca

Since his arrival at Xeneize in 2023, the Paysandú-born fullback with a past at River has played in 52 matches wearing the blue and gold shirt. The player never managed to establish himself in the team, and the succession of coaches did not help him settle in.

The Uruguayan is training separately from the squad.

He alternated with Lautaro Blanco in the position and has accumulated 3,193 official minutes. His last match was on June 20 against Bayern Munich, when he came on for 10 minutes in what ended as a 2-1 defeat. After that, he was sidelined from the team and the coach decided he should not train with the squad.
