Ghanaian striker Majeed Waris has left French side Strasbourg after his contract expired, GHANAsoccernet.com can report.

The French club did not renew his contract which expired on June 30.

The 30-year-old joined Strasbourg from FC Porto signing a two-year contract in 2020.

Waris has failed to impress since joining Strasbourg two seasons ago from the Portuguese giants

Its payroll estimated at 720,000 euros per season has been a financial concern for the Alsatian club, according to The Team.

Strasbourg are keen to reduce their wage bill with reports of other players leaving the club this summer.

The Ghana international has made just 15 appearances scoring two goals in the 2021/22 season in the season which has just ended.

Waris is currently a free agent and there has been talk of a move to Denmark in the summer transfer window.

Majeed Waris has passed through Strasbourg, Nantes, FC Porto, Lorient, Trabzonspor, Spartak Moscow, Valenciennes and Hacken.

Meanwhile, fellow countryman Alexander Djiku has returned for pre-season amid transfer talks.

The centre-back has been one of the mainstays of the team this season.

Strasbourg had a great season in Ligue 1, they finished the season with 6th place on the clock and 63 points after 38 games played.
