Jean Butez, a French-born footballer, was born on 8 June 1995 making him presently 30 years old. His prowess as a goalkeeper earned him a spot in the Como club in Italy. Standing at about 6 feet 2 inches tall, or 1.88m for our international fans, and tipping the scales at 11 stones 11 pounds (a respectable 75 kg), Butez commands quite the presence in the goal area. He's easily recognisable on the field as well, sporting the number 30 on his jersey.
As per Transfermarkt, the value of Butez's performance on the market currently sits around a cool £3m. His contract with Como keeps him on their roster for an additional 2 years and 12 months, with a tentative expiration set for 30 June, 2028.
Butez's career indeed took flight in Belgium, where he made significant appearances for the Royal Excel Mouscron. During the 2017-2018 season, he made a total of 8 appearances for the first team. In the subsequent 2018-2019 season, Butez upped his game, making 24 first team appearances. As the 2019-2020 season rolled around, he added another 16 first team appearances to his stats.
Butez's performance did not go unnoticed, leading to a move to Royal Antwerp — also in Belgium — for the 2020-2021 season. In this season, he took the field 18 times for the first team. Prolific appearances continued for Antwerp, tallying 34, 34 and 30 home runs in the 2021-2022, 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 seasons respectively.
His evolving career then found him trading the Belgian fields for the Italian ones, joining the ranks of Como in the 2024-2025 season. In his first season at Como, Butez made a total of 19 first team appearances. It seems the French goalie's journey continues in Como, as their jersey is set to be his uniform once again for the 2025-2026 season.
