TimesLIVE announce that Al Ahly and Brighton reached an agreement for the transfer of Tau on Thursday.
It is unclear, however, whether Tau will be joining Al Ahly on a permanent or loan deal but all should become clearer when the deal is announced.
Tau’s imminent return to Africa has divided the opinions of football fans in the country with some believing that he will be making a wrong career decision.
However, Pitso Mosimane’s ambitions to continue dominating African football and conquer the FIFA Club World Cup with Al Ahly were clearly enough in convincing Tau to return ‘home’.
Percy Tau and Mosimane worked together for years at Sundowns before the left-footer joined Brighton in 2018.
Percy Tau spent a number of seasons on loan in Belgium as he struggled to get a UK work permit until early 2021 when Brighton recalled him.
