Jean Butez was on the verge of signing with RC Lens to replace Brice Samba. The two clubs were finalizing the last details of a transfer estimated at 3 million euros. However, the deal will not happen due to concerns about the player's age and potential hand fragility, which deterred Lens' management.

Jean Butez was set to sign with Lens as the successor to Brice Samba. However, due to various reasons, likely medical (a hand issue) and financial, the discussions have been terminated by Lens' management.

Jean Butez from Royal Antwerp is set to join Lens as a replacement for Brice Samba. This recruitment process was mentioned by Lens' coach, Will Still, indicating that Butez will be the new goalkeeper for the team.

Jean Butez is set to leave Antwerp and join Lens. He has a personal agreement with both Como and Lens, but Lens has won the race for his signature. A contract until mid-2028 is ready for him at Lens. The negotiations between Antwerp and Lens are advanced and should result in an agreement for a fee slightly higher than three million EUR. Butez was linked with Anderlecht last summer but will now leave Antwerp after 170 appearances.

Jean Butez, a French goalkeeper born in Lille and a product of Lille OSC's academy, is set to transfer from Royal Antwerp to Lens. An agreement is imminent for a transfer fee of around three million euros. Butez is expected to sign a three-and-a-half-year contract and make his debut in Ligue 1.

Jean Butez, the 29-year-old goalkeeper, has been linked with a move to Lens. Despite being valued at 4 million, his diminished role and the fact that he is entering the last year of his contract might affect the transfer fee. Interest from Como was previously reported, but Lens is now favored to acquire him according to Italian journalist Orazio Accomando.

RC Lens, currently in 7th place in Ligue 1 and participating in the Champions League, has renewed their interest in Jean Butez following the departure of their goalkeeper Brice Samba to Stade Rennes. It has been reported that negotiations with Antwerp FC are ongoing, but no breakthrough has been achieved yet. Butez, who was once awarded the title of 'Keeper of the Year' in Belgium and played a key role in helping Antwerp win the national title, has found himself on the bench as the club decided to focus on younger talent. Despite previous interest from clubs such as Como and RSC Anderlecht, Lens is now aiming to take advantage of the situation to secure Butez as a replacement for Samba.
