Following his exit, the striker who is a product of Sunderland is now a free agent and has reportedly been the subject of interest from France and beyond for a potential summer transfer.
The 24-year-old Nigerian international spearheaded the team’s efforts to seal an instant return back to the top flight, putting away 16 goals in the second tier as David Guion’s men narrowly missed out on promotion in bizarre circumstances.
The forward reportedly had an automatic renewal clause in his contract, which would have been triggered had Bordeaux finished in the top two spots in Ligue 2 – but this was not the case.
After breaking onto the scene at Sunderland, Maja joined Les Girondins in January of 2019 and would go on to make a century of appearances for the club.
His spell on the banks of the Garonne, punctuated by two loan spells at Fulham and then Stoke, saw him score 29 goals in all competitions.
Right now, Maja will be looking to get a deal done for his next club after the holiday for the 2023/2024 campaign
