Tau is currently having issues with Al Ahly and is looking for a way out of the club. It's been reported that Wydad is monitoring the South African international's situation at the club.

The Moroccan giants also consider signing him on a free transfer if he resolves his contract issues with the Egyptian champions.

2. Bongani Zungu

Zungu has been a free agent since being released by Mamelodi Sundowns earlier this summer. The South African midfielder has been linked with several clubs, but reuniting with Mokwena in the Botola Pro League is also an option on his table.

Mokwena earlier confirmed that Wydad is in talks with Zungu, but the deal has yet to materialise.

3. Abdelmounaim Boutouil
