The Egyptian journalist admitted that Al Ahly considered selling the Bafana Bafana forward at the beginning of the season but changed their minds as they could not sign a perfect replacement for the 30-year-old.
"At the beginning of the season, Al Ahly was thinking of getting rid of Percy Tau, but failure to sign a suitable replacement prompted the team to keep him in its ranks," he said.
"There are two teams interested in signing Tau; one is a popular club, and the other is an investment club."
Al-Laithi mentioned that Tau could move in the coming transfer window, with Zamalek being one of the clubs showing interest in signing him.
"Percy Tau may move during the coming period, whether to Zamalek Club or another, and he will be removed from Al Ahly for several reasons that the technical director sees fits," he added.
According to a report by the South African, Tau has constantly been linked with a return to PSL since his issue began with Al Ahly and Kaizer Chiefs, which is expected to be his destination.
The South African forward's former club, Mamelodi Sundowns, is also said to have shown interest in him in the past 12 months.
One factor that could hinder Tau's return to the PSL is his desire to play at the highest level outside the South African league.
