Per report carried by authoritative French sports news site L’Equipe recently acquired Ligue 1 team Bordeaux have told the Nigerian duo of Josh Maja and Samuel Kalu that they are not in their plans.
Bordeaux were bought over by the former owner of Lille Gerard Lopez and his first priority is to weed out the heavy earners in the team due to the struggling financial state of teams in Ligue 1.
Both Kalu and Maja fall into the bracket of players earning big wages at the club and if they fail to find suitors for them, it is very likely that their deal will be terminated.
Kalu haven’t had the best of time since joining from Genk of Belgium in 2018 with injuries and fitness issues limiting his performance for the team. Off field issues like when his mother was kidnapped and when he contracted coronavirus have also not help his case at the club.
Maja spent last season on loan to Fulham who had the option of signing him permanently but decided against it. He hasn’t been the shrewd signing they thought he was when he was signed from Sunderland.
The duo alongside Raul Bellanova, Ruben Pardo, Otavio and Hwang Ui-jo are the players who have been told in clear terms that their future lies outside the club.
