Official I Jean Butez extends Como contract

Official I Jean Butez extends Como contract Como 1907 have made official the extension of goalkeeper Jean Butez’s (31) contract for a further two seasons. Originally tied to the Italian club until 2028, the Frenchman has now seen his tenure lengthened until 2030. Having arrived on the shores of Lake Como in the winter of 2025, the Lille-born player quickly adapted to Serie A. An undisputed first-choice goalkeeper for Cesc Fàbregas’s side, Butez has started every one of the 44 matches played by I Biancoblù this season. More importantly, he played a key role in his team’s historic qualification for the next Champions League campaign, finishing the 2025-26 season as the last line of defence for the best defence in the Italian league (29 goals conceded) and with the most clean sheets (19). Despite coming through the ranks at LOSC Lille, Butez never played there at professional level and spent most of his formative years in Belgium, playing for Royal Excel Mouscron and Royal Antwerp, before making his breakthrough on the other side of the Alps.
