Aston Villa extend Victor Lindelöf's contract until 2028
Club activated a one-year option — the 32-year-old centre-back will stay at Villa Park until summer 2028.
Aston Villa have confirmed they have extended their agreement with Sweden centre-back Victor Lindelöf by activating a one-year extension clause, keeping the 32-year-old at Villa Park until at least the summer of 2028.
From free transfer to first-team regular
Lindelöf joined Villa in the summer of 2025 as a free agent after an eight-year spell at Manchester United, where he made 284 appearances. He quickly established himself under manager Unai Emery and became an important defensive presence for the Birmingham club.
Last season Lindelöf played a notable role in Aston Villa's Europa League triumph, including in the final when Villa beat Freiburg 3–0 in Istanbul.
In the current campaign he has been a regular starter, appearing in Premier League and Champions League matches. So far he has logged close to 50 appearances for Aston Villa across all competitions.
The one-year clause activation keeps continuity in Villa's back line and gives Emery another experienced option as the club balances domestic and European commitments.
