Chance for Kaizer Chiefs to pounce? Bafana Bafana vice-captain Percy Tau becomes a free agent following Qatar SC departure along with ex-Orlando Pirates transfer target

Qatar SC have announced the departure of Percy Tau, who joined them on a short contract in January 2025.

The club decided against exercising the option of extending the 31-year-old's contract.

Also leaving Qatar SC is former Orlando Pirates transfer target Ben Malango, who came close to signing for the Buccaneers in 2021.

Before joining Qatar SC, Tau's name was mentioned as a Kaizer Chiefs transfer target.

With the Soweto giants in the hunt for quality players, it is to be seen if they will move in to sign the Bafana Bafana vice-captain.

Also, with Malango now 31 and having lost his scoring touch, he might now be unattractive to Pirates or other PSL clubs.

A move back to the PSL cannot be ruled out for Tau whose only experience of South African top-flight league was with Mamelodi Sundowns.

Being a free agent, signing him would make business sense.
