Tau requests R18m from Al Ahly
According to a report by Soccer Laduma, Tau reportedly demanded a total payment of R18 million ($1.1 million) from Al Ahly for the remaining year left on his contract with the club.
The former Mamelodi Sundowns star still has one year left on his contract with the Red Devils, which is proving to be a stumbling block for both parties.
Tau and the Egyptian giants' coach, Marcel Kohler, are reportedly at loggerheads, and the club are looking for a solution to part ways with the 30-year-old despite him claiming he would retire at the club.
Reports have it that Al Ahly are unwilling to pay the full payment the Bafana Bafana star requested as they believed it's way too much; instead, they've informed the player to reduce the amount by half and would be allowed to leave the club on a free transfer.
Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly monitoring Tau's future at Al Ahly and are willing to bring him back to the Premier Soccer League.
