Percy Tau’s time at Al Ahly appears to be coming to an end, with growing speculation about his future at the club. The former Mamelodi Sundowns star, known for his skill and dynamism on the pitch, has been linked to a move to either Pitso Mosimane’s Esteghlal in Iran or to Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa, sparking excitement and anticipation among fans.

Tau’s future at Al Ahly has been shrouded in uncertainty for several months. This comes after reports of a fallout with coach Marcel Koller, which has left the 12-time CAF Champions League winners’ fans questioning whether the player remains in the club’s long-term plans. The situation has been tense, with many wondering if Tau would seek a move elsewhere in search of more playing time and stability.

The rumors have intensified recently, and on Tuesday, Tau’s actions on social media further fueled speculation. The 29-year-old removed all references to Al Ahly from his profiles, a clear signal that an official departure may be imminent. This move has left fans wondering where Tau, also known as the “Lion of Judah,” will land next.

One potential destination is Esteghlal, the prestigious Iranian club coached by Tau’s former mentor, Pitso Mosimane. Mosimane, who had a significant impact on Tau’s career during their time together at Sundowns, is reportedly keen on reuniting with the attacker. Under Mosimane, Tau enjoyed some of the best years of his career, and a return to play under the experienced coach could provide the stability and form he needs after a rocky spell at Al Ahly.

Alternatively, there are growing whispers linking Tau to a move to Kaizer Chiefs. The Soweto giants have been looking to strengthen their squad and add a dynamic forward to their attacking options. Tau’s experience in top-tier African football and his technical ability would make him a valuable asset for Amakhosi, who are looking to compete for major titles in the upcoming season. A return to South Africa could be appealing to Tau, particularly if it offers him more playing time and the opportunity to rebuild his career in familiar surroundings.

While no official statements have been made, the growing rumors and Tau’s social media activity suggest that a move could be on the horizon. The next few days or weeks may provide more clarity on his next destination.

Where will the Lion of Judah land next? Fans are eagerly waiting to see if Percy Tau will make a return to South Africa with Kaizer Chiefs or head abroad for a new adventure under Pitso Mosimane at Esteghlal. Either way, Tau’s next move is bound to be one of the most talked-about transfers in African football in the coming months.
