After wrapping up his stint with Qatar SC, South African football star Percy Tau is officially a free agent.
Now, with the transfer window wide open and speculation flying, Tau’s name is buzzing across the PSL.
And fans are asking one big question—where will he land next?
Kaizer Chiefs or Orlando Pirates? The Battle for Tau Begins
Tau, now 31, looks set to return to familiar territory in the South African Premier Soccer League.
Reports suggest Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are both showing serious interest.
But it doesn’t stop there—his former club Mamelodi Sundowns is also reportedly in the mix, hoping to bring their ex-winger back home.
Tau Opens Up About His Future Plans
In a recent interview, Tau made it clear that loyalty alone won’t dictate his next step.
While his heart still beats for Sundowns, he’s keeping his options open.
“I’d listen to anybody,” he said. “Let’s not rule out Orlando Pirates—or even Stellenbosch, SuperSport United.
I’ll not rule out anyone. My decision will be based on who gives me a contract.”
Tau was honest about the financial reality of professional football, adding, “At the end of the day, I still have to support my family.
So just because I love the club, it doesn’t mean I’ll stick around for any offer.”
Orlando Pirates Eyeing Fresh Talent Too
While discussions around Tau heat up, Pirates are also making quiet moves elsewhere.
Reports suggest they’ve approached SuperSport United about a promising teenage defender—Neo Rapoo.
Born in 2005, Rapoo is known for his versatility, capable of playing both full-back positions.
Could Tau Be Saleng’s Replacement?
With Monnapule Saleng’s future at Orlando Pirates uncertain, many are wondering if Percy Tau is being eyed as a potential replacement.
Known for his pace, creativity, and experience, Tau could bring the spark Pirates need up front—if the deal goes through.
