BAYERN MUNCHEN, Butt Latest Keeper Linked with German team
German keeper Hans-Jörg Butt has become the latest goalkeeper linked with a move to German champions Bayern Munich.
The ‘Münchner Merkur’ has reported that the 34 year old Benfica keeper is a target for Bayern as they look to bring in an experienced back up for Michael Rensing.
Despite media reports in the past few days linking Bayern with Sebastian Frey and Marco Amelia, Rensing remains the number one for next season and the Bavarians are only looking to bring in a reserve keeper.
Butt is currently in Angola with his club side Benfica, and his advisor Jörg Neblung, who also represents Robert Enke, has refused to confirm or deny the story.
“Munich would be a great destination for Hans-Jörg, but he still has a valid contract with Benfica. But I’m ruling nothing out” he explained.
Butt is only a reserve at Benfica with Quim the first choice and he has made only one appearance in the Portuguese league this season.
The German keeper has made 324 Bundesliga appearances during spells at Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen. He has three international caps to his name.
