The attacker, in the final year of his contract, had been linked to several clubs during the latest transfer window including African, Middle Eastern, and European sides, and recently, rivals Zamalek.
Egyptian journalist Ahmed Shobair has now weighed in on Tau's situation, suggesting this might be his last year at the Cairo-based outfit.
"I expect that this may be Percy Tau's last year with Al-Ahly, and if he wants to leave in January and receives an offer, I do not think Al-Ahly will object," Shobair said during a radio interview per Masrawy.
Red Devils sporting director Mohamed Ramadan previously confirmed that discussions regarding Tau's future would commence after Al Ahly's FIFA Club World Cup encounter against Al Ain last month.
The media personality also addressed shot stopper Hamza Alaa's situation.
"Regarding goalkeeping, Hamza Alaa is a good goalkeeper and wants to play, so he wants to leave Al Ahly on loan, but the latter wants to renew his contract before leaving, and in the end, it's his decision."

Alaa was omitted from the matchday squad, while Tau made a late appearance, coming off the bench in the 80th minute.
