According to Afrik-Foot, one of the top members of Zamalek's board, Ahmed Suleiman, in an interview with MBC Masr, has confirmed that the Royal Club have not made any offer to Al Ahly for Tau and are not ready to sign any player from their Egyptian league rivals.

"There has never been a bid from Zamalek for Percy Tau," he said.
"Currently, no one at the club is considering signing players from Al Ahly, just as the Red Devils are not looking at signing players from us.
"No player joins Zamalek without José Gomes being fully convinced. As a board, we cannot impose a player on the coach."
