Percy Tau was spotted at Chloorkop on Tuesday morning, two days after watching Mamelodi Sundowns from the VIP section at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
On Sunday, Tau witnessed his former club lose 3-1 to USM Alger in the CAF Super Cup final.
At halftime, he was seen chatting with several Sundowns players who were outside the matchday squad. The former Al Ahly attacker has since started training with his former club. FARPost can confirm the 32-year-old joined Miguel Cardoso’s squad at Chloorkop on Tuesday morning.
Initial indications are that Tau is training with his former club purely to maintain his fitness as he continues his search for a new club. The ‘Lion of Judah’ has been without a club since leaving Vietnamese side Thep Xanh Nam Dinh FC in May 2026. He had been training on his own before linking up with the Sundowns squad.
PERCY TAU OPEN TO OFFERS AS CLUB SEARCH CONTINUES
FARPost understands that two Betway Premiership clubs previously enquired about Tau’s availability. However, nothing concrete came out of those conversations. Kaizer Chiefs, whose name came up during a hypothetical discussion on Robert Marawa’s show on 947, have made no enquiry.
Speaking on Marawa Sports Worldwide, Tau said he was open to offers and would consider the length of any deal and what it would mean for his family.
“I will listen if there are offers; I’m not ruling out anyone. There’s a lot to take in, to consider. You have to consider age, how long the contract is and then family,” Tau said.
Tau rose to prominence at Sundowns, helping the Tshwane giants win their first CAF Champions League title in 2016. He was named PSL Footballer of the Season and finished as the league’s joint top scorer in 2017/18 before joining Brighton & Hove Albion.
The talented attacker spent time on loan in Belgium before joining Egyptian giants Al Ahly, where he added two CAF Champions League titles and was named CAF Interclub Player of the Year in 2023. He also spent time with Qatar SC before moving to Vietnam.
