Adrián Butzke Benavides (born 30 March 1999) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Primeira Liga club Nacional on loan from Vitória Guimarães.

Club career

Born in Monachil, Granada, Andalusia to a German father and a Spanish mother, 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.

Butzke made his senior debut on 26 August 2018, starting in a 0–2 home loss against Atlético Mancha Real. 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.

Butzke scored his first senior goal on 11 November 2018, netting Huétor Vega's second in a 4–3 away win over Martos CD. The following July, after scoring nine goals for the farm team, he was definitely promoted to the B-side.

On 29 June 2020, Butzke renewed his contract with the Nazaríes until 2022. On 4 September, however, he was loaned to fellow third-tier side Haro Deportivo for the campaign.

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.

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. The following 14 January, he renewed his contract until 2026, and moved on loan to Primeira Liga side F.C. Paços de Ferreira late in the month.

On 24 August 2022, after spending the entire pre-season with Granada, Butzke returned to Paços on a one-year loan deal. On 6 July 2023, Vitória de Guimarães announced his signing on a permanent three-year deal.
