He is now a free agent. The former Al Ahly and Mamelodi Sundowns attacker has given a rare insight into the kind of offer that might entice him to join the Soweto giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tau-breaks-silence-on-chiefs-salary-speculation\">Tau Breaks Silence on Chiefs Salary Speculation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Percy Tau, who recently parted ways with Qatari outfit Qatar SC, dropped a major hint about his financial expectations during an engaging chat with veteran broadcaster Robert Marawa on 94.7 FM. The 31-year-old Bafana Bafana international engaged in a light-hearted yet revealing discussion when Marawa posed a hypothetical scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf I\u2019m Kaizer Motaung at Naturena and I offer you R450,000 a month \u2013 do you accept?\u201d asked Marawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tau responded with a smile, \u201cFor how many years?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marawa suggested a two-year deal with an additional option, to which Tau simply replied, \u201cPerfect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"gaute-1583066256\" class=\"gaute-inbetween-content gaute-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"gaute-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1852772760112594\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1852772760112594\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"1819787043\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-percy-tau-stresses-he-s-not-demanding\">Percy Tau Stresses He\u2019s Not Demanding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the playful nature of the conversation, Tau made it clear that he\u2019s not the type to place unrealistic expectations on any club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m actually quite reasonable when it comes to negotiations,\u201d he noted. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t ask for something that I know a club can\u2019t afford. I understand how the business side of things works.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This measured approach could work in Kaizer Chiefs\u2019 favour. Especially as the club looks to rebuild following yet another disappointing season in the domestic league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-time-running-out-to-land-tau\">Time Running Out to Land Tau?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At 31, Percy Tau is at a critical juncture in his career and is evaluating his next move carefully. Since cutting ties with Qatar SC, he has become one of the most high-profile free agents on the continent. There is no doubt that any team in the Betway Premiership would be thrilled to secure his signature. However, Kaizer Chiefs may have to move quickly as interest from other clubs continues to mount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"gaute-2538234897\" class=\"gaute-inbetween-content gaute-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"gaute-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1852772760112594\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1852772760112594\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"1819787043\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-career-that-speaks-for-itself\">A Career That Speaks for Itself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tau hasn\u2019t played club football in the country since the 2017\/18 season when he dazzled for Mamelodi Sundowns. He then secured a dream move to the English Premier League, signing for Brighton &amp; Hove Albion. Although game time was limited in England, he gained valuable experience in Belgium with loan spells at Union Saint-Gilloise, Club Brugge, and Anderlecht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.citizen.co.za\/sport\/soccer\/local-soccer\/percy-tau-reveals-what-chiefs-must-pay-sign-him\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The \u201cLion of Judah\u201d<\/a> finally made his debut for Brighton in January 2021 but left later that year to join Egyptian giants Al Ahly. There, he enjoyed massive success, including lifting two CAF Champions League trophies and other domestic honours. After two seasons in Egypt, he switched to Qatar SC, where he spent a single campaign before becoming a free agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eyes-on-the-local-market\">Eyes on the Local Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tau\u2019s availability could not come at a better time for Chiefs, who are desperate to revive their fortunes and compete seriously for silverware next season. His vast experience, international pedigree, and proven quality could inject much-needed flair and leadership into their attacking line-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether Amakhosi are prepared to match his expectations remains to be seen. However, one thing is clear \u2014 Percy Tau isn\u2019t closing the door on a move back to one of the country\u2019s biggest clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"gaute-357449283\" class=\"gaute-inbetween-content gaute-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div class=\"gaute-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1852772760112594\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1852772760112594\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"1819787043\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-could-kaizer-chiefs-be-his-next-home\">Could Kaizer Chiefs Be His Next Home?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With Chiefs expected to be active in the transfer market, fans will be keeping a close eye on developments surrounding Tau. Given his reasonable contract stance and love for local football, a deal could be more feasible than initially thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should Kaizer Chiefs put forward a solid proposal, the Naturena faithful might soon see the Lion of Judah roaring in gold and black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gauteng.net\/whats-on-g\/chiefs-mayele-signing-faces-collapse\/\">Kaizer Chiefs Transfers: Chiefs\u2019 Dream Striker Signing Faces Collapse Over Financial Gap<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the transfer window heats up, Kaizer Chiefs could find themselves in an intriguing position regarding a potential move for Percy Tau.
