Butt Leaves Benfica

German goalkeeper Hans-Jörg Butt has made himself available to join Bayern Munich after parting company with SL Benfica.

The veteran custodian joined Benfica from Bayer Leverkusen nearly a year ago but has been the club's second-choice keeper behind Quim since his arrival.

With Bayern Munich reportedly interested in establishing him as their back-up choice behind Michael Rensing, Butt questioned Benfica about his role in the squad next season.

It is believed that the Portuguese club told the 34-year-old that his squad status would not change and that they would allow him to open negotiations with any team.

Butt is now a free agent after terminating his deal with the Lisbon-based side.

A statement on Benfica's official website reads: "Sport Lisboa e Benfica and Hans-Jörg Butt have reached an agreement for the revocation of the working contract with no compensation for either parties."
