Esteghlal coach Pitso Mosimane is reportedly pursuing a high-profile reunion with South African forward Percy Tau during the January transfer window.
Tau, currently with Egyptian champions Al Ahly, has been informed he can depart the club following mutual discussions about terminating his contract.
As part of the agreement, Al Ahly is expected to honor the remaining terms of Tau’s deal, enabling the player to explore new opportunities.
This decision has attracted interest from prominent clubs, including Egypt’s Zamalek SC and South Africa’s Kaizer Chiefs, who are both vying for the talented forward’s signature.
Mosimane, however, appears determined to bring Tau to Esteghlal, reigniting their successful partnership from their time together at Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly.
Mosimane’s familiarity with Tau’s abilities and his confidence in the player’s potential could make Esteghlal an appealing option for the 29-year-old attacker.
Known for his versatility, speed, and clinical finishing, Tau has the attributes to elevate Esteghlal’s attacking capabilities.
His potential arrival would bolster the Iranian club’s aspirations for both domestic and continental success, while also marking a fresh chapter in Tau’s career.
Mosimane’s interest in Tau reflects the strong bond they’ve built over years of working together, with the coach consistently backing the forward to excel at the highest level.
Esteghlal’s pursuit of Tau adds intrigue to what promises to be a busy January transfer window.
As the countdown to the window begins, all eyes are on Percy Tau’s next move, with Esteghlal among the frontrunners for his signature under Mosimane’s guidance.
