Adrián Butzke Benavides (born 30 March 1999) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Portuguese club Vitória S.C.
Born in Monachil, Granada, Andalusia to a German father and a Spanish mother,[1] Butzke joined Granada CF's youth setup from hometown side CA Monachil. In July 2018, after finishing his formation, he was assigned to farm team CD Huétor Vega in Tercera División.[2]
Butzke made his senior debut on 26 August 2018, starting in a 0–2 home loss against Atlético Mancha Real.[3] He first appeared with the reserves on 2 September, coming on as a late substitute for Eliseo Falcón in a 0–1 Segunda División B home loss against UCAM Murcia CF.[4]
Butzke scored his first senior goal on 11 November 2018, netting Huétor Vega's second in a 4–3 away win over Martos CD.[5] The following July, after scoring nine goals for the farm team, he was definitely promoted to the B-side.[6]
On 29 June 2020, Butzke renewed his contract with the Nazaríes until 2022.[7] On 4 September, however, he was loaned to fellow third-tier side Haro Deportivo for the campaign.[8]
Upon returning in July 2021, Butzke was again a member of Granada B, with the side now in the Segunda División RFEF. He made his first-team debut on 30 November, starting and scoring a hat-trick in a 7–0 away routing of CD Laguna de Tenerife in the season's Copa del Rey.[9] [10]
Butzke made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 19 December 2021, replacing goalscorer Jorge Molina in a 4–1 home routing of RCD Mallorca.[11] The following 14 January, he renewed his contract until 2026,[12] and moved on loan to Primeira Liga side F.C. Paços de Ferreira late in the month.[13]
On 24 August 2022, after spending the entire pre-season with Granada, Butzke returned to Paços on a one-year loan deal.[14] On 6 July 2023, Vitória de Guimarães announced his signing on a permanent three-year deal.[15]
