Anton Donkor drawing attention from the Greek club OFI Crete

German-Ghanaian defender Anton Donkor may be on the verge of a transfer this summer, having drawn interest from Greek top-tier club OFI Crete. Sources indicate that discussions between the two teams have already occurred, leaving the ultimate choice in the hands of the player. Schalke 04 seems amenable to parting ways, particularly as Donkor has not been a significant contributor to the team's strategy. The 28-year-old left-back only featured in two brief outings in the 2. Bundesliga last season, making a transfer a logical step for both parties. For Schalke, allowing him to leave would not only create space in the roster but also alleviate financial pressures. The report indicates that the club might release him on a free transfer, saving over 800,000 euros in salary expenses. Donkor joined Gelsenkirchen on a free transfer from Eintracht Braunschweig in the summer of 2024. Since then, he has participated in 31 competitive matches for the Royal Blues, contributing two assists. A switch to Greece would mark him as Schalke's next outgoing player of the summer following a series of other exits.
