The transfer saga surrounding Bafana Bafana star Percy Tau has taken an intriguing twist, as Kaizer Chiefs might miss out on the marquee player.
Reports suggest that esteemed coach Pitso Mosimane is working behind the scenes to secure Tau’s services for his current club, Esteghlal, in Iran.
Pitso Mosimane Eyes Reunion with Percy Tau
Speculation is rife that Pitso Mosimane is planning a move to reunite with Percy Tau, whom he previously coached at Al Ahly.
Tau, now 30, has reportedly been told he can leave Al Ahly once an agreement for mutual termination is reached.
With clubs like Zamalek SC and Kaizer Chiefs expressing interest, Mosimane’s Esteghlal seems to hold the upper hand in this transfer race.
Esteghlal, currently struggling for goals in their league campaign and the AFC Champions League, could greatly benefit from Tau’s experience and skills.
The possibility of Tau joining Mosimane in Iran would be a significant boost for the Persian Gulf Pro League side.
Al Ahly and Tau Part Ways
Tau’s time at Al Ahly appears to be officially coming to an end, marking the conclusion of a trophy-laden stint.
Reports suggest that both parties have agreed to a mutual termination of the player’s contract, with Al Ahly set to compensate him for the remainder of his deal.
SuperSport broadcaster Karabo Phasha recently confirmed this on his social media, adding that Tau’s exit would include specific waivers.
This move opens the door for Tau to explore fresh opportunities, with Mosimane seemingly eager to swoop in.
Chiefs’ Young Star Sparks Controversy
In other news, Kaizer Chiefs’ 19-year-old winger, Nkosana Mbuthu, has been turning heads on Instagram with posts featuring a luxury Range Rover, reportedly worth R2 million.
While the ownership of the car remains unclear, the flashy display has stirred plenty of conversation online.
Mbuthu’s football journey has been a rollercoaster.
The son of former Chiefs star Patrick “Ace” Mbuthu, he recently made headlines for his debut during a challenging 4-0 preseason loss against Yanga.
Despite the defeat and being played out of position, Chiefs coach Nabi defended the young player, highlighting his potential and resilience.
What’s Next for Chiefs and Tau?
As the January transfer window heats up, Chiefs fans are left wondering if Mosimane’s intervention will derail their plans for Tau.
The coming weeks will reveal whether the Amakhosi can secure their target or if Mosimane’s Esteghlal will steal the spotlight.
