Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns insist they remain committed to helping star man Percy Tau relish his dream of playing in Europe.
The Bafana Bafana international has been linked with clubs in France and England ahead of the new season, after helping Pitso Mosimane’s side to the league title in 2017/18.
Premier League outfit Brighton are said to be among clubs that have already made contact with Sundowns over their prized asset.
The diminutive forward played a key role in the Brazilians’ domestic success and was also the big winner at the end of the season awards, scooping three of the accolades.
The Tshwane giants said they will not discuss with the public the ongoing negotiations with several interested clubs from Europe.
“Mamelodi Sundowns have stated on numerous occasions over the past 18 months that it is committed to ensuring that Percy Tau plays and pursues his career in Europe,” the club said in a statement.
“We have been saddened by misrepresentations and false statements in the media concerning discussions for Percy Tau to play in Europe.
“Mamelodi Sundowns will not engage and discuss in public and with the media, the confidential negotiations that are currently underway with several interested European clubs for Percy Tau to play in Europe.”
