It has also been said that the Bafana Bafana star had been suggested to the club by his agents, and that Sivasspor's technical staff are "largely convinced" by the player and his abilities.
Now, according to an insider cited by Tarkesa, Red Devils president Mahmoud El Khatib agreed to let Tau leave the club during the current transfer window.
He and the club's hierarchy are believed to have approved the 30-year-old's departure, but on the condition that the Super Lig outfit lays down an offer that exceeds $2 million (R35 million).
It has further been claimed that the attacker has reached an agreement with Sivasspor that covers his salary, accommodation, contract length and other details that would relate to the move.
The former Brighton Hove Albion star is also said to have contacted Al Ahly officials to let them know about his desire to leave the Egyptian giants.
