Boca continues to be active in the transfer market, although this time more with departures than arrivals. In recent hours, the club confirmed the loan of Marcelo Saracchi to Celtic of Scotland for one year and is making progress in negotiations to transfer Vicente Taborda, currently at Platense, to Greek football.
The Saracchi case seemed inevitable. The Uruguayan full-back was not considered by Miguel Ángel Russo and was training separately from the first team squad. His wish was to leave and finally Celtic came forward with a proposal that appealed to all parties: loan with a fee, purchase option, and the possibility of relaunching his career in Europe. In the coming days, he will travel to London to undergo medical examinations and process his visa.
His departure frees up a spot in the squad, although from the Football Council, with Juan Román Riquelme at the helm, they assure that they do not plan to bring in anyone unless a very convenient market opportunity arises.
The Uruguayan had arrived in August 2023 and played 52 matches wearing the blue and gold jersey, in which he scored four goals. However, after getting few minutes in the Club World Cup, he lost ground with Russo and was left out of the group, so his departure seemed only a matter of time.
