Sunderland forward Josh Maja is reportedly set to join Bordeaux in the very near future.
Stewart Donald has hinted that Sunderland have a sell on clause in the Josh Maja deal on social media website Twitter.
Sunderland are set to sell Maja to Bordeaux for a fee of £3.5 million according to the Daily Mail, after they failed to agree a new contract with the forward.
While the news comes as a blow to Sunderland, the deal could well turn out to be excellent for them in the future.
Maja has just six months remaining on his contract, so the Black Cats appear to have maximised his value.
And, judging by the tweets Donald has liked (which can be seen via this link), Sunderland may well have a sell on clause, so they will benefit if Maja goes on to fulfil his potential in France.
Maja is currently leading Sunderland’s goalscoring charts, after netting 15 goals for the Black Cats this season.
The youngster’s form has been a major reason behind why Jack Ross’ side have excelled this season, and replacing him could be tough.
Sunderland are next in action, when they take on AFC Wimbledon.
