Bafana Bafana forward Percy Tau has been heavily linked to Kaizer Chiefs; however, he is not ruling out a possible move to rivals Orlando Pirates.
The 31-year-old has been a free agent since parting ways with Qatar SC after just five months. Before his move to the Middle East, he spent four years with Al Ahly, winning several titles.
Speaking to Robert Marawa on Radio 94.7, Tau revealed that he would accept a salary of R450,000 a month from Chiefs.
Will Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs battle for Percy Tau?
Tau said he would look at an offer from Chiefs if the club decided to contact him, but the Bafana star also mentioned his interest in returning to Mamelodi Sundowns
“If that situation were to happen [to receive an offer from Chiefs], I would pay attention to it,” he admitted. “But there are still other clubs in the PSL. I mean, I played for Sundowns, so I cannot write them off. It’s a team that I played for, I won, and I’ve got so much love for the team and the fans. If Sundowns were not to offer me a contract and Chiefs does, then it won’t be my fault but theirs that I’ve gone to join Chiefs.”
Although Orlando Pirates have not tabled an offer for Percy Tau, the Witbank-born attacker said he was open to joining the Buccaneers.
“But I’ll listen to anybody, so let’s not rule out Orlando Pirates or even Stellenbosch FC, SuperSport United. I will not rule out anyone. My decision will be based on who gives me a contract because at the end of the day, I still have to support my family,” Tau said.
Which team should Tau join?
