Celtic move for Marcelo Saracchi: Transfer details revealed | OneFootball

Marcelo Saracchi's future at Boca seems to be heading away from La Bombonera. After being relegated following the arrival of Miguel Russo, the Uruguayan defender began to evaluate alternatives, and in recent days, a concrete opportunity from Europe has emerged that seems to seduce both the player and Xeneize.

The Celtic of Scotland has initiated formal negotiations with the management of Brandsen 805 to incorporate the full-back. According to reports, both institutions are in talks with the intention of closing the deal before the end of the European transfer market.

The British team's proposal consists of a one-year loan with a charge and a purchase option, although the figures have not been revealed yet. For now, the first versions indicate that if the Scots try to adjust the amounts of that clause to approach Boca's pretensions, the Argentine club would be willing to release the player. It is worth remembering that, shortly after learning the news that he was going to be marginalized from the squad, the full-back was one step away from joining Independiente, but the negotiations did not come to fruition.

The Uruguayan's panorama changed after his participation in the Club World Cup in the United States, where he even added minutes against Bayern Munich. Despite that experience, weeks later he was told that he had to train alone and was no longer taken into account.

From the institution on the River, they consider that the departure is the best alternative, and although they never gave too many details about the decision to marginalize him, from the bowels of the club, they seem to believe that he is not 100% committed when he is not a starter.

The player, for his part, limited himself to making a post on his social networks at the end of July, already marginalized from the daily squad. There, with a photo of himself shouting a Boca goal, Saracchi chose a song by the Uruguayan band La Vela Puerta "José sabía", with a lyrics that seem to accompany his feelings at the moment he is going through: "When everything seems fucked up is when you have to put". Shortly after, he exploded with another post, although with a phrase erroneously attributed to Che Guevara: "It's better to die standing than to live on your knees".
