Local football fans have shared their feelings on the possibility of Percy Tau returning to Mamelodi Sundowns next season.
The Bafana forward's contract at Al-Ahly expires in June 2024 and the Egyptian club is considering offloading their highest earner.
Percy Tau has options
Clubs are interested in Tau, as confirmed in the tweet below:
Last season, Tau ruled out a return to Sundowns, but this time around, the 29-year-old has options. However, his R22 million annual salary at Al-Ahly may prove to be a stumbling block.
Egyptian rival side Zamalek has shown an interest in the former Brighton and Hove Albion player, while Kaizer Chiefs and teams in the Middle East are also sniffing around.
