Marcelo Saracchi won’t be a Celtic player next season, and he certainly won’t be playing for Boca Juniors.
That’s probably what annoys Celtic fans the most: he was there, ready and waiting to be signed permanently, but as per, the board do what they do best.
Nonetheless, Saracchi has to look for a new club, because he is training away from his parent club, Boca Juniors.
After helping Celtic to the domestic double last season, the Uruguay international could now head to the MLS and join the Houston Dynamo.
What other areas do Celtic need to address before the transfer window slams shut? 🍀🤔💰
Marcelo Saracchi could move to the MLS for under £800k
Celtic didn’t re-sign Kelechi Iheanacho, and it didn’t go down well with the fans.
Thankfully, the club saved itself by signing Camilo Duran, but most importantly by bringing Kasper Hogh to Glasgow in a statement-like move.
The same has to happen for whoever replaces Saracchi at Parkhead.
What will further annoy the Celtic Park faithful is that their former left-back could move to the MLS for a measly ‘£750k.’
Argentine sports reporter Uriel Iugt has claimed on social media that Houston Dynamo of the MLS have made a ‘formal offer’ for Saracchi’s services.
César Luis Merlo then added on his socials that the fee being mentioned is around ‘£750k’, and Boca are expected to respond.

If Saracchi does move for such a low fee, it will be interesting to see what type of player Celtic bring in, and what they pay him.
It would look pretty stupid if that individual in question is of a lesser quality, but costs more.
Either way, Greg Taylor has been spoken about regarding a return to Glasgow, while Martin O’Neill could always use the academy or even push Auston Trusty or Liam Scales to that position.
In truth, if it’s the latter, then it wouldn’t go down well with the supporters, even if they are on a high after the Hogh signing.
