Overview

  • Multiple outlets say talks are advanced for Marcelo Saracchi to join Celtic, and TN reports he flew to Europe to finalize a one-year loan without a purchase option.
  • Other reports describe a loan with fee and an option near €2 million under discussion, with Boca seeking a higher clause before agreeing to terms.
  • Panathinaikos offered $4.5 million for 80% of Vicente Taborda’s rights, with Boca set to retain 20% and Platense holding 10% per the existing agreement.
  • Taborda, 24, remains on loan at Platense through December 2025 and was a key contributor to the club’s Apertura title run.
  • The exits would free roster space and deliver fresh revenue as Europe’s transfer window approaches its early-September deadline.
