He did this, however, because he believed that "pure" organics would have no place alongside the Reapers. He "synthesized" himself to make himself more useful to Sovereign, and believed that any joining him would have to do the same. The purpose of his synthesis was different, but at it's fundamentals it was exactly the same.
He not only never makes this claim, but empirical evidence would prove it wrong. A pure organic was what Sovereign needed to access the Citadel master-control and bring the return of the Reapers. Pure organics are also used to create the Reapers, as seen in ME2.
He was only "synthesized" to erase his doubts after Virmire.
He didn't need Saren to gain access to the Citadel - he needed him to find the Conduit, because he couldn't access the information on the Prothean Beacons himself. Sovereign knew that any assault on the Citadel would be preempted by the closing of the arms, making it impossible for him to interface Citadel Control, so he had Saren find the "back door", where he could override the closing of the arms so that Sovereign could gain access and open up the relay.
Besides, we see from our very first "encounter" with Saren on Eden Prime (quotations because Shepard never actually sees him, but the player does) that he is already largely implanted with machinery. (
Look here where Saren has no machine parts prior to meeting Sovereign). He claims that everything he has done has been to make himself "more useful" to Sovereign, and even at Virmire he spouts off about how "organics" (and at this point I am assuming he is also referencing himself, because he says "we") let themselves be ruled by emotions instead of logic (hence showing why Saren possibly believes that "organics" have no place in the future he envisioned with the Reapers). He promotes making himself more like a tool,
like the Geth, as early as Virmire. Throughout the game, he sees both the pure organics following him (such as Benezia and Shiala) as well as the pure synthetics (the Geth) as expendable, but he views himself as indispensible (
"Sovereign needs me!").
After being implanted by Sovereign, he believes himself to be the"pinnacle" of evolution for organics, by becoming a symbiotic being of both Machine and Flesh (suggesting that he needs his machine parts to survive just as much as his organic parts). He invites Shepard to "ally" with Sovereign, and experience "rebirth" (which most likely means in the same way that he did, by becoming implanted with Reaper tech and becoming part-synthetic).
The fact that the Reapers needed organics to "procreate" doesn't even factor here - Saren fully believed that the Reapers would annhilate galactic civilization - he never mentions once about being "ascended" into any Reaper form. The first evidence we hear/see about this is in ME2. He was doing what he thought he "must" to survive the incoming onslaught.
