Tau nears Al Ahly exit

Tau is said to be close to leaving Al Ahly as talks between the player and the club have failed to yield positive results.

The Bafana Bafana star has requested a whopping sum of R18 million for the one year left on his contract with the club if he leaves this summer.

The Red Devils are not ready to yield to his demands, as they can only offer him half of the amount he requested because they see his demands as audacious.

According to an Egyptian media outlet, Elwatan, as per Soccer Laduma, Al Ahly threatens to freeze out the Kaizer Chiefs target until his remaining contract runs out in 2025.

Several African clubs are monitoring the sour situation facing the South African international, with Rulani Mokwena's Wydad AC also reportedly being in the mix.
