Following a revealing Percy Tau interview with Robert Marawa on 94.7 on Wednesday when the player said he would be open to being offered a R450k salary per month at Kaizer Chiefs, a new report reveals that the Soweto Giants may not be interested in the forward.
In the explosive chat, Marawa acting as hypothetical Chiefs management said: “I offer you R450,000 a month. Do you accept?”
“For how many years?” asked Tau.
“You sign two with an option,” Marawa replied.
Tau then said: ““Perfect.”
Kaizer Chiefs’ Interest in Percy Tau: Uncertainty Surrounds Transfer Rumours
It seemed then all but confirmed that Chiefs would be ready to sign the player.
However, a Soccer Laduma report quoting an undisclosed source seemed to indicate the opposite.
“We hope most people listened to that interview and they heard what Percy Tau said,” the source said.
“It wasn’t (just) about Chiefs. It’s believed that the club is not interested in him. And again it’s not about the R450k salary or the two-year salary. It’s about what Chiefs’ football department and the technical team are looking at for their plans and the players they are looking at and at the moment Percy Tau is not that player.
“Apparently he is not better than what Khama Billiat and Keagan Dolly were at the same stage when they signed them. Chiefs want to avoid making the same mistakes they did in the past.”
Last week, Chiefs announced the departure of Chivaviro, who has left the club with immediate effect.
The forward joined Chiefs in June 2023, and the club chose not to extend his two-year contract.
In total, Chivaviro has made 45 appearances for Chiefs while scoring nine goals.
Chivaviro did not reach his full potential with Chiefs, as he struggled with injury during the 2023/2024 season.
Chiefs completed another deflating season in the Betway Premiership as they ended ninth, their second league campaign in a row in which they finished outside the top eight.
