DYNAMOS are no longer in pole position to land Warriors ‘keeper Donovan Bernard.
His handlers confirmed to Zimpapers Sport that, at least, two South African Premiership clubs have made inquiries about his availability.
They include Polokwane City and SuperSport United.
Bernard’s union with Chicken Inn is expected to run down at the end of this campaign.
The 28-year-old was outstanding in the Warriors’ back-to-back 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Nigeria, which took place in Rwanda.
He put out a man-of-the-match performance when Zimbabwe settled for a goalless draw against Rwanda.
He was also in fine form when the Warriors battled odds to force a 1-1 stalemate against Nigeria last Sunday.
“We can just confirm that we have received some inquiries about Bernard from two top clubs in South Africa. They are both keen to have him in this coming off season but we have not reached any agreement and we are still also considering local offers.
“He is still a Chicken Inn player as for now and there is also a chance that he will continue with them if they meet our expectations,” said his handlers.
FC Platinum are also believed to have joined the hunt for Bernard’s signature.
The miners are said to be looking for a permanent replacement for Wallace Magalane, who has been linked with a possible move to Simba Bhora.
Bernard hailed Warriors coach, Baltemar Brito for believing in him.
“It’s something which I will not take for granted, this means a lot to me, I want to thank the coach for this opportunity.
“It’s every goalkeeper’s dream to guard those goalposts for your country and to have someone who brings the best out of you. It’s a blessing.”
