It appears former Sunderland striker Josh Maja has hit another stumbling block in his career since leaving Wearside.
The forward, who spent last season on loan at Stoke City, has found himself in the third tier once again after Bordeaux were relegated after breaching financial regulations.
It is likely the French club will look to offload Maja in a bid to raise some funds, with the Potters considering a permanent move for the 23-year-old.
If Maja returns to the Championship club then Sunderland could gain 10 per cent of the profit Bordeaux make on the sale due to a clause in his contract when he left the Stadium of Light.
