Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly being given a golden chance to sign their transfer target, Percy Tau, from Egyptian giants Al Ahly this summer.

The Soweto giants are busy in the transfer market, looking for top players to complement their new coach, who will arrive this summer.

Tau is one of the players who are on the Glamour Boys' wishlist, but they were initially dealt with a huge blow after Al Ahly confirmed the South African star would be staying at the club.

According to a report by Soccer Laduma, as per the South African, Kaizer Chiefs now have a big chance of getting Tau this summer as the Egyptian club has made a new decision on the Bafana Bafana star's contract situation.

Reports suggest that Al Ahly want the South African international to take a whopping 50% pay cut to stay at the club beyond this summer.

The former Brighton and Hove Albion star has yet to respond to the Red Devils' new offer, but the amount the Egyptian side are offering could be a perfect opportunity for Amakhosi to get their target.

Kaizer Chiefs offering Tau more money and other unique benefits in the deal could see the Soweto giants land the former Mamelodi Sundowns attacker.

The positive part of the report for Kaizer Chiefs is that the Bafana Bafana star is said to be open to joining the Soweto-based club.

Tau linked with Zamalek of Egypt

Sports Brief previously reported that Egyptian legend, Ahmed Hossam, popularly known as Mido, asked his former club, Zamalek, to sign Tau from Al Ahly.

However, it has been suggested the attacker might not be interested in that move because the team is struggling at the moment, sitting 12th in the league.
