BREAKING: Al Ahly agree to terminate Percy Tau’s contract! -report

Al Ahly have reportedly agreed to part ways with Kaizer Chiefs target Percy Tau according to the latest reports. 

Tau and Al Ahly have been at loggerheads over a contract extension and now seem to have parted. 

Tau and Al Ahly have been at loggerheads

The Bafana Bafana international was in scintillating form for Al Ahly prior to the 2023 Afcon in Ivory Coast. He ended the 2022/23 season with 17 goal contributions in 42 games. That saw his name linked with overseas interest once again. A promising start to the season saw Tau get six goals but he seems to have stagnated on them, with no assists. His form from the previous seemed to be the driving point for contract extension talks.

This new contract was set to make Tau the most paid player on the African continent. According to Egyptian reports, it would’ve been a three-year deal. That would’ve have seen the 29-year-old earning R23 million annually. It would then increase by R1.9 million in the first year. Then R2.8 million in the second and then R3.8 million in the final year. That would’ve seen the attacker spend the rest of his prime years at Al Ahly. 

Al Ahly then backtracked on that offer, opting to cash in on the player instead. It was believed that the club went back to the drawing board and decided to continue with a new contract for Tau. But on revised terms which were not as lucrative. This publication then reported that the Egyptian giants were ready to sell for a good price. This, seems to have also sent Chiefs into high alert.

Now decided to part ways

Just last month this publication reported that Al Ahly could be looking to terminate Tau’s deal in January. This in an effort to sign another top foreign player. Now according to SuperSport journalist Karabo Phasha, the two parties have gone ahead with the idea! 

“????????????????????????????????

Understand Al Ahly & Percy Tau have agreed to mutually terminate his contract by mutual consent.  Ahly will pay Tau the remainder of his contract and add a waiver to it.” Phasha posted on his official X account.
