A transfer of Anton Donkor to OFI Kreta nearly occurred, but it failed because he hesitated for too long. Schalke 04 is willing to pay Donkor a severance package to save on his high annual salary.

According to 'WAZ', Anton Donkor’s departure to Greek top-flight club OFI Crete did not happen because the wide player hesitated too long over a decision.

OFI is nearing a definitive agreement to sign Anton Donkor. The 28-year-old German and Ghanaian left back, who is under contract with Schalke, is set to be acquired as a free agent by the Greek club as they prepare for a new season that includes European competition. The German club is reportedly in agreement with the transfer. The transfer will allow them to save a sum of approximately 800 thousand euros. Donkor joined Schalke in July 2024 and has four caps for the Germany U20 team. His current Transfermarkt market value is €400k.
