In January 2020, Majecki agreed a contract until June 2024 with Ligue 1 side Monaco, who loaned him back to Legia Warsaw until the end of the 2019–20 season. The transfer fee paid to Legia Warsaw was reported as €7 million.[2]

On 20 July 2022, he moved on a loan until the end of the season to Belgian side Cercle Brugge.[3]

On 25 February 2024, Majecki was chosen to play over first-choice goalkeeper Philipp Köhn for a 3–2 away win over Lens, making his first Ligue 1 appearance since September 2020.[4] He would stay in the starting line-up for the remainder of the 2023–24 season, keeping seven clean sheets in 11 league appearances, as Monaco finished runners-up and qualified for the UEFA Champions League.[5] On 20 May 2024, he signed a new four-year deal with the Monégasque club.[6]
