Speculation over Percy Tau’s future at Al Ahly has taken a decisive turn as negotiations for a contract extension with the Egyptian Premier League champions are reportedly making significant progress.
Initially poised for departure, the South African striker is now on the brink of continuing his journey with the Red Devils, with discussions underway for an extension of his tenure with the club.
While earlier talks had hinted at a potential parting of ways between Al Ahly and the 29-year-old forward, recent developments suggest a renewed commitment from both parties to prolong their collaboration. Negotiations have resumed in earnest, signaling a mutual desire to extend Tau’s stay in Egypt.
A breakthrough in the negotiations appears to have been achieved, particularly regarding Tau’s salary demands. Reports suggest that Al Ahly, dubbed the “Club of the Century,” is poised to meet the striker’s financial expectations, with an agreement imminent on a substantial pay rise.
According to Onze News, Tau’s salary is set to increase by an additional million dollars, marking a significant boost from his previous earnings of $800,000.
Furthermore, the proposed contract extension would entail annual increments in Tau’s salary until the conclusion of the new agreement, likely extending until 2027.
The impending contract extension represents a vote of confidence in Tau’s contributions to Al Ahly’s success on the pitch.
As discussions near completion, both the club and the player are edging closer to securing a long-term commitment that would see Tau continue to don the famous red jersey for the foreseeable future.
For Al Ahly supporters, the prospect of retaining a key player like Percy Tau signals a bright future ahead, as the club looks to maintain its dominance in Egyptian football and make further strides on the continental stage.
