Mamelodi Sundowns could be looking to strengthen their squad with the possible return of former Bafana Bafana forward Percy Tau, as reports suggest that the club is considering signing the experienced attacker on a permanent deal.
Tau has reportedly impressed head coach Miguel Cardoso with his current fitness levels, potentially increasing the chances of him returning to the Premier Soccer League.
According to information shared by SoccerBeat, Sundowns have been keeping an eye on the forward's physical condition, with his recent progress attracting the attention of the Portuguese coach.
This could create an opportunity for the former Brighton and Hove Albion attacker to return to South African football and potentially represent Masandawana once again.
Tau previously enjoyed a successful spell with Mamelodi Sundowns before making the move to European football. During his time at Chloorkop, he established himself as one of the country's most talented attacking players through his impressive performances.
His displays for the Brazilians eventually opened the door to opportunities abroad, where he gained experience playing for several clubs in different leagues.
The former Bafana Bafana international has represented Brighton and Hove Albion, Club Brugge, Anderlecht and Al Ahly, among other teams, during his career.
His experience across different competitions has helped him develop as a footballer and could make him a valuable addition to the Sundowns squad if the proposed return becomes a reality.
For Masandawana, bringing Tau back to the club could provide another attacking option as they continue competing for domestic and continental honours.
Cardoso would understand the value of having an experienced player who knows South African football and could contribute immediately to the team's ambitions.
However, his fitness will remain an important factor in any potential transfer, as the Sundowns coach will want to ensure that the forward can cope with the physical demands and expectations at the club.
At this stage, there has been no official confirmation of a permanent transfer, and Mamelodi Sundowns have not announced an agreement with the player.
Despite the uncertainty, reports of the club's interest have generated excitement among South African football supporters, particularly those who would welcome the opportunity to see the former Bafana Bafana star return to the PSL.
Should the move materialise, Tau's return could become one of the notable transfer developments in South African football.
For now, Sundowns supporters will have to wait and see whether the club decides to turn its reported interest into a permanent signing.
