Como 1907 has extended the contract of goalkeeper Jean Butez for two additional seasons [2].
The extension follows a period of high-level performance by the 31-year-old [1], securing his role as a primary defensive asset for the Italian club. This move ensures stability in the squad's goalkeeping position as the team prepares for future campaigns.
Butez's contributions during the 2025/26 Serie A season were highlighted in a recent video produced by the league, which showcased his best saves from the year [3]. The footage emphasizes the critical stops that helped Como navigate the challenges of the top flight of Italian football.
Prior to this agreement, the goalkeeper's original contract was set to expire in 2028 [3]. The new terms extend his tenure with the club, reflecting the organization's confidence in his ability to maintain his current form.
Butez has become a focal point of the team's defensive strategy. By securing him for two more years [2], Como avoids the immediate need to scout and integrate a new goalkeeper into their system, a process that can often disrupt team chemistry.
The timing of the extension aligns with the conclusion of the 2025/26 season, marking a transition point for the club's roster management. The league's decision to feature Butez in a highlights reel further validates the club's decision to commit to the player long-term.
“Como 1907 has extended the contract of goalkeeper Jean Butez for two additional seasons.”
