    That won't stop our board saying, see Brendan, we got you a shiny new right back. Aren't we wonderful?

    Meanwhile, Marcelo Saracchi's case is simpler because Boca doesn't have to negotiate with any third party.

    The Uruguayan wants to leave the club (he trains separately from the squad), and Celtic of Scotland have made progress in negotiations to keep the full-back on a loan with a charge and an option to buy. The final amounts have yet to be agreed upon, but there's still time because the transfer window in Europe closes on September 1.


    For Saracchi, management is seeking to raise the buyout clause, as the Scots' initial proposal was considered too low.



    As for the Uruguayan full-back, who arrived in August 2023 and has racked up 52 appearances and scored four goals, the end seems inevitable. After playing only a few minutes at the Club World Cup, he was sidelined by Miguel Ángel Russo.

    He genuinely looks dreadful..

    Wee, weak and supposedly rash. Questionable attitude. Fans don't rate him at all. Nowhere near up to speed..

    The * scouting about and coming up with muck like this?

    It's the rash way he trashes at the ball anytime it comes into his own box that worries me the most.

    Don't think it's anything to do with scouting. We've had an agent reach out, the deal is cheap, short term with no commitment and that's all the board are interested in. The fact we didn't bother to put an option in says it all. Stop gap and cheap. The board don't care if he's any use, in monetary terms its a risk free signing and that's the only thing they care about.

    We'll be back next season with a new manager and the same old problem at left back, that we won't bother to address.

    Hope he surprises me but I just can't see it. He looks like a * version of Bernabei.

    Must have had a few scouts from when we signed Bernabei who recommended this guy.

    Would much rather play Inamura tbh

    This is going to be the pointless loan of the season, just because he has more experience doesn’t mean he’s any better than Inamura.

    Marcelo Saracchi is traveling to London. There he will undergo the medical examination and obtain the visa to be able to play in Scotland.

    The full-back will join Celtic of Glasgow. He is going on loan for one year.

    To be fair to us we’ve got a decent record in resurrecting a players career that’s went a bit off line.

    Probably because it’s not that important in this case.

    Marcelo Saracchi goes to Celtic. The Boca side did not speak and embarked on the United Kingdom to join, on loan, the Scottish team.

    I think the negotiations is that Celtic want a option to buy, and Boca want obligation to buy.
