Overview

  • Panathinaikos is negotiating a US$4.5 million purchase of 80% of Vicente Taborda’s rights, with Boca retaining 20% and Platense due 10%.
  • The midfielder remains on loan at Platense, where he helped win the Apertura, and his move would represent immediate revenue with future sell-on upside.
  • Celtic is advancing a loan for Marcelo Saracchi that includes a purchase option reported near €2 million, with final figures still under discussion.
  • Boca’s leadership is pushing for a higher buy-option valuation for Saracchi and could agree to a loan without option if terms do not improve.
  • Saracchi has been training away from the first team under Miguel Ángel Russo, and his exit would open a senior roster slot as Boca reshapes its squad.
