It has been claimed the relationship between Percy Tau and Al Ahly manager Marcel Koller has now reached a dead end.
The South African attacker has made 28 appearances for the Egyptian giants in this campaign, netting just seven goals, with only one of them coming since his return from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The 30-year-old has helped his side reach the final of the CAF Champions League after returning from what is believed to have been an ankle injury at the end of March, although there was speculation that his absence was due to a fallout with the Red Devils' Swiss manager.
According to former Ahly star Ahmed Abou Moslem, the Bafana Bafana star has not been living up to expectations, and his relationship with the current boss has seemingly reached an impasse.

"Percy Tau has not performed as expected with Al Ahly since his return from the South African national team's camp for the last African Nations Championship, and there is a state of tension between him and the Swiss coach Marcel Kohler, the team's coach, and the relationship between them has reached a dead end," he said after the team's 2-1 win over Baladiyat El Mahalla on the weekend, per almawq3.com.
Despite the Egyptian giants wining four of their past five league encounters, the former player also believes Ahly are not where they need to be heading into their CAF Champions League final against Esperance Sportive de Tunis on Saturday, 18 May.
"Al Ahly achieved an important victory before the CAF Champions League final match against Esperance of Tunisia next week, but the level is not reassuring before the next Esperance match, and there are many players who were out of service, led by right-back Mohamed Hani," he added.
