Victor Lindelöf Extends Contract with Aston Villa Until 2028
Aston Villa has extended Victor Lindelöfs contract for another year, securing his position until 2028 as a key player in the squad.
New Delhi, November 10 (Daily Kiran) : Aston Villa has announced a one-year contract extension for Swedish defender Victor Lindelöf, keeping him with the club until 2028. Since joining the Premier League club in 2025, Lindelöf has nearly reached 50 appearances and has established himself as a crucial player in the team’s defense.
Lindelöf made an immediate impact upon his arrival, playing a pivotal role in helping Aston Villa secure the UEFA Europa League title in his first season. He was part of the squad that triumphed over SC Freiburg with a 3-0 victory in the final held in Istanbul.
His impressive performances at the club level have also translated to the international stage, where he serves as the captain of the Swedish national team. The contract extension reflects his importance in manager Unai Emery’s plans as the club aims to remain competitive in both domestic and European competitions.
This announcement comes on the heels of a thrilling match on Sunday at Old Trafford, where Aston Villa faced Manchester United, ending in a dramatic 4-4 draw. Aston Villa initially led 4-2, thanks to goals from Alisson, Nicolás Jackson, John McGinn, and Leon Goretzka, but conceded two late goals that denied them victory.
Manager Unai Emery described the late goals as “painful” but also highlighted the positive aspects of his team’s performance. With Lindelöf’s contract secured until 2028, Aston Villa hopes to benefit from his experience and consistency in defense as they continue their campaign under Emery’s guidance.
