Al Ahly manager Marcel Koller, however, is said to have given the go-ahead for Tau's departure, provided the club provide a suitable replacement.
Now, it seems as though they have found someone who could take over the winger's position in Tala'ea El Gaish SC forward Youssry Wahid, according to Egyptian media personality Mohamed Al-Laithi, via Ahly News.
Speaking on Egyptian radio, he stated that the side's hierarchy has offered Wahid to Koller, but added that a final decision on his signing must still be made.
"There is a strong conviction on the part of the Al Ahly club management in the capabilities of Youssry Wahid, but the final decision will be made by the technical staff to decide the player's fate in wearing the red shirt," Al-Laithi said.
Tau, who is currently on the sidelines after suffering a second-degree hamstring strain while on international duty with Bafana Bafana, is considered by some to have underperformed over the course of the 2023/24 campaign.
