The club confirmed the decision, which rewards a defender who has become an important figure since arriving in 2025.
“Aston Villa is delighted to announce that Victor Lindelöf will remain at the club until 2028, with the club exercising an option to extend his existing contract by a further year,” the club announced.
Lindelöf is approaching 50 appearances in claret and blue and has made a significant contribution during his time in the Midlands. His first season was particularly successful, as he helped Villa win the UEFA Europa League.
The defender played a pivotal role in the campaign and was among the stand-out performers in the final against SC Freiburg in Istanbul, where Villa secured a 3-0 victory to lift the trophy.
His performances have established him as a key presence at the heart of the defence, providing experience and leadership to the team. The extension ensures Villa will retain that experience for another season.
Lindelöf has also continued to captain Sweden at international level, combining his responsibilities with the national team with his growing role at Villa.
The decision to activate the additional year means Villa have moved to protect the future of a player who has quickly become an important part of their defensive structure. With his contract now running until 2028, the club can continue to count on the former Manchester United defender as they look to build on their recent European success.
