Born in Paysandu, Saracchi joined hometown club Progreso Paysandu at the age of ten, spending five years in their youth system. Saracchi then joined the youth ranks of Danubio.

Danubio

In July 2015, Saracchi was moved to the Danubio first team. He was included in the matchday squad for the first time on 12 August for Danubio's Copa Sudamericana match against Universidad Catolica. During that match, Saracchi was subbed on for Ignacio Gonzalez in the 77th minute, but his competitive debut for the club was cut short when he was subbed off five minutes later following Alejandro Pena's second yellow card and subsequent sending off. The following weekend, Saracchi made his Primera Division debut, making another substitute appearance, this time replacing Leandro Sosa in the 63rd minute of a 2-0 away victory over Juventud. A month later, Saracchi made his first start for the club in a 1-1 draw against Sud America in league play. After breaking into the first team throughout the 2015–16 season, Saracchi scored his first goal for the club, in the 77th minute of a 4-1 defeat to Montevideo Wanderers late in the Clausura tournament. It would be his only goal of the season. Saracchi would go on to make 57 appearances for the club, 54 in the league and three in the Copa Sudamericana, alongside netting against El Tanque Sisley and Montevideo Wanderers again for a total of three goals with Danubio.
