Bafana star Percy Tau could make a sensational return to the PSL according to Red Devils legend Said Abdelhafiz - 'If Al Ahly does not renew his contract, the player will return to South Africa'

Tau, the South African international and former Mamelodi Sundowns star, may be on the verge of a high-profile return to South Africa.

With only a few months left on his contract with Egyptian giants Al Ahly, speculation is mounting about his future.

Since joining Al Ahly in 2021, Tau has enjoyed considerable success, playing over 115 games and scoring 29 goals, all while amassing a host of honours.

These include two CAF Champions League titles, two Egyptian League championships, two Egyptian Cups, and four Egyptian Super Cups.

However, recent seasons have seen a decline in Tau’s performance, a sentiment echoed by Al Ahly legend Said Abdelhafiz, who recently shared his thoughts on the situation as the player's contract approaches its end in June 2025.

"Percy Tau is a distinguised player, but his perfomances last season and this season are completely far from the level he showed in Kollers first season,” he said as reported by Kickoff.

“From what i know about Percy Tau, is that if he does not renew his contract with Al Ahly, he will return to South Africa.

”it will be difficult for zamalek to sigb percy tau, especialy in the light of the financial crisis the ckub is suffering from.”

“What i undestand from Percy Tau’s personality is that if Al Ahly does not renew his contract, the player will return to South Africa.”

As Tau’s contract with Al Ahly approaches its end, his options will shape a new chapter in his career.

While his performances haven’t matched the stellar displays of his debut season, he remains a top-level talent who could greatly impact South African football if he returns.

Tau’s focus will now be on maintaining peak form to either secure a renewal or prepare for a new challenge.

For Tau, the immediate focus will be on solidifying his place in Al Ahly’s starting eleven and proving his value on the pitch.

With a few months left on his contract, scoring goals and consistently delivering strong performances could be key to securing a contract renewal.

Tau will need to capitalise on every opportunity, particularly in league and Champions League matches, to showcase his best form and reinforce his importance to the team.

If he can impress, a new contract might be within reach, allowing him to extend his successful tenure in Egypt.
