The transfer of Jean Butez to Lens takes time. This is above all because the departure of Brice Samba is also quite complicated.
After waiting for a transfer all summer and chomping at the bit on the Antwerp bench for six months, Jean Butez is not yet completely out of the woods. The French goalkeeper first spoke with Como, he is now on his way to Lens.
In the North, it is called upon to replace Brice Sambafor whom everything seemed tied up in Rennes. But the saga of the Lensois goalkeepers is definitely a big bag of knots.
The last few days have brought their share of headwinds, going so far as to suggest that the Lensois were backtracking to prevent the departure of Samba at Stade Rennais.
The big maneuvers in Lens
According to our information, the transfer will take place, even if it will take time, thereby freeing up space for Jean Butez. But the game of dominoes does not stop there: according to our sources, Hervé Koffi (second Lens goalkeeper behind Samba in the first part of the season) would also like to leave.
The former Charleroi goalkeeper is coveted by Westerlo, Anderlecht also came to the news. Definitely one of the sagas to watch over the coming weeks.
