Celtic initiates talks with Boca Juniors for Marcelo Saracchi
Summary

Celtic has commenced discussions with Boca Juniors to secure a permanent deal for Marcelo Saracchi. The Uruguayan full-back, who spent last season on loan at Celtic, made 27 appearances but faced injury setbacks. Initially, Celtic preferred another loan, but Saracchi seeks long-term stability, prompting Boca Juniors to demand a €1.5 million transfer fee. This decision is critical as Celtic aims to address their left-back position and avert any last-minute transfer chaos as the window approaches.
