Victor Lindelof extends his contract with Aston Villa until 2028.

32-year-old Victor Lindelof has officially extended his contract with Aston Villa until 2028. In an interview, the defender said he was extremely happy to renew his contract with Aston Villa and looked forward to playing for the team in better health.

Lindelof, from Sweden, joined Aston Villa as a free agent in September 2025 and won the Europa League title with Aston Villa in the 2025/26 season.

Since the start of the 2026/27 Premier League season, Lindelof has made 10 appearances for Aston Villa and 4 appearances in the Champions League.

In an interview, Lindelof said, "I am really happy. I have enjoyed my time here since joining the team, and it feels great to be able to renew my contract. The past year has been wonderful, and I am extremely happy to have helped the club win such a prestigious trophy. I am honored to be a part of it and happy to be able to contribute to writing the club's history."

"Being able to participate in matches is a joyful thing, that's why I play football, including participating in important matches and being on the field every week. Although there are many matches this season, I really enjoy this pace. So I have to take good care of my body, and I'm doing my best to do that."

Lindelof shared, "I'm a team player, and I'm happy as long as I can be on the field and help the team. I hope to stay healthy and continue to contribute to the team throughout the season."

Furthermore, when discussing head coach Emery, Lindelof said, "The coach has very high expectations for the players, and I think he is very good at unlocking their potential. It has been an honor to work with him, and he was an important factor in the smooth completion of this contract extension, because I really enjoyed working with him. I was able to fully utilize my strengths on the pitch, and I also knew very well how he expected me to play."

“He made it easy for me to adapt to the game, and all I had to do was to help the team as always. I’ve always wanted to help my teammates, especially the younger players. I went through that phase myself, and there were experienced players who offered to help me. I think that’s very important, especially when new players join the team.”

Lindelof also said, "So I will do my best to help, but we also have many excellent players and outstanding leaders in our team who are equally capable of taking on this responsibility. I will step up whenever the team needs me."
