Marcelo Saracchi won\u2019t be a Celtic player next season, and he certainly won\u2019t be playing for Boca Juniors. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s probably what annoys Celtic<\/a> fans the most: he was there, ready and waiting to be signed permanently, but as per, the board do what they do best. <\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Saracchi has to look for a new club<\/a>, because he is training away from his parent club, Boca Juniors. <\/p>\n

After helping Celtic to the domestic double<\/a> last season, the Uruguay international could now head to the MLS and join the Houston Dynamo. <\/p>\n

What other areas do Celtic need to address before the transfer window slams shut? \ud83c\udf40\ud83e\udd14\ud83d\udcb0 <\/p>\n

\"\" Marcelo Saracchi could move to the MLS for under \u00a3800k<\/p>\n

Celtic didn\u2019t re-sign Kelechi Iheanacho<\/a>, and it didn\u2019t go down well with the fans.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the club saved itself by signing Camilo Duran, but most importantly by bringing Kasper Hogh to Glasgow in a statement-like move.<\/p>\n

The same has to happen for whoever replaces Saracchi at Parkhead.<\/a> <\/p>\n

What will further annoy the Celtic Park<\/a> faithful is that their former left-back could move to the MLS for a measly \u2018\u00a3750k.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Argentine sports reporter Uriel Iugt has claimed on social media that Houston Dynamo of the MLS have made a \u2018formal offer\u2019 for Saracchi\u2019s<\/a> services. <\/p>\n

C\u00e9sar Luis Merlo then added on his socials that the fee being mentioned is around \u2018\u00a3750k\u2019, and Boca are expected to respond. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It would look pretty stupid if that individual in question is of a lesser quality, but costs more. <\/p>\n

Either way, Greg Taylor has been spoken about<\/a> regarding a return to Glasgow, while Martin O\u2019Neill could always use the academy or even push Auston Trusty or Liam Scales to that position. <\/p>\n

In truth, if it\u2019s the latter, then it wouldn\u2019t go down well with the supporters, even if they are on a high after the Hogh signing. <\/p>\n
