Saracchi's Celtic Stay: Loan Star Set for Boca Return
4 May
Summary
- Marcelo Saracchi is expected to return to Boca Juniors this summer.
- The left-back has made 23 appearances for Celtic this season.
- Celtic face a decision on Saracchi before his loan expires in June.
Marcelo Saracchi is not expected to extend his stay with Celtic beyond the current season. The defender arrived on loan from Argentine club Boca Juniors in the summer of 2025 and has since featured in 23 matches, contributing three goal involvements. His progress was hampered by a hamstring injury, and he has often been behind Kieran Tierney in the left-back pecking order.
Despite Saracchi making an impression, the prevailing expectation is that he will return to Boca Juniors when his loan agreement concludes in June 2026. This move would see him occupy a foreign player quota spot back in Argentina. Celtic are currently contending for the Scottish Premiership title and also face uncertainty regarding their managerial position for the upcoming season.
The club is already planning for the summer transfer window, irrespective of the managerial situation. Saracchi was an unused substitute in Celtic's recent 2-1 victory over Hibernian. He has a chance to conclude his season with a Scottish Premiership title medal and is also set to feature in the Scottish Cup final against Dunfermline Athletic.
