​Marcelo Saracchi, the Uruguayan left-back previously on loan at Celtic, is once again the subject of transfer chatter as of May 3, 2026. The Easter Road clash between Hibernian and Celtic in the Scottish Premiership has brought Saracchi back into the spotlight after his return to Boca Juniors at the end of last season. From the outset of pre-season, it was clear he should start searching for a new club, as Celtic indicated an interest in bringing him back to the Hoops, with Martin O’Neill confirming that talks had taken place with Boca about a possible deal.
Saracchi has drawn interest from other clubs in Argentina, with Estudiantes and Independiente both reported to be tracking his situation. Celtic’s preference appears to be negotiating another loan deal, while Boca Juniors have been pressing for a permanent transfer. Boca have now publicly identified Saracchi as one of several players available for transfer, confirming that he is no longer training with the senior squad. Others moved into the same category include Juan Ramirez, Marcelo Weigandt, Juan Barinaga, Mauricio Benitez, and Agustín Martegani. A club statement cited by the Daily Record noted that all those players have been informed of the situation and are training separately from the main group.
