    "Marcelo Saracchi: Barring unforeseen events, he'll renew his contract with Boca Juniors (which expired in December 2026) and move to Celtic in Scotland on loan for a fee of USD 100,000, but with no purchase option. The idea is for him to gain experience elsewhere, as he won't be considered."

    So no option to buy then? I thought that's what was holding the deal up

    Genuinely being reduced to panic loans with no option sums up this window.

    He’s 2nd choice cover for a year. Nothing more and nothing less.

    Fair enough, but if he turns out to be pretty decent, then, we can’t even keep him. Seems a bit of a redundant move, albeit that we do need cover.

    The Argentinian journos reported we wanted a buy option.

    We've failed to negotiate even that.

    CONFIRMED: MARCELO SARACCHI IS HEADING TO SCOTLAND



    An agreement has been reached for the left-back to join Celtic on a one-year loan, with a fee and no purchase option.
    With his departure, Boca frees up a spot and will be able to sign players until 8/31 (8/30 if it’s a player from abroad).

    I felt the same about our new guy simpson pusey. This might be a completely different scenario though as his value would most likely decrease after the loan spell due to his contract, in which case we'd be in a better position to get him on a bargain fee if hes worth it.
    I reckon the opportunity players have to impress on loan here can work in our favour and also against. Take Idah for example, if we had negotiated a mandatory fee then we wouldn't have paid so much, Norwich in that case had the upper hand doing that due to the pressure to sign him. Then there is CCV and Jota on the other hand who we paid less for.
    Redundant moves though, thats what I've come to expect really. Not world class by any stretch.

    Can only assume that they see Inamura there long term, after developing a bit.

    I don’t hate it.

    Marcelo Saracchi leaves Boca Juniors on loan to Celtic of Scotland. The Uruguayan soccer player will travel to London in the next few hours, to undergo a medical check-up and sign for a year. Boca Juniors releases a quota that is hardly used.



















    Marcelo Saracchi will be a reinforcement for Celtic. Boca loans him out for one year, with a fee (approximately 100 thousand dollars) and without a purchase option. The Uruguayan will travel to Scotland in the coming hours. Boca secures a spot to sign players until 8/31. He was one of those sidelined by the management

    Its a smart bit of business, loan a backup for KT, develop our Japanese player for a year. My only qualm is: why not a month sooner???

    The fact he can also cover right back means this makes a little more sense.

    No option suggests we see Inamura as the option there going forward, which is good. I just hope Inamura still sees decent game time this year, or gets a loan to a good level.
