The Sweden international joined Villa on a free transfer from Manchester United in September 2025, following eight years at Old Trafford. He made 28 appearances during his first season in Birmingham, registering one assist, and has continued to establish himself as an important member of Unai Emery's squad.
Lindelöf has started all ten of Villa's Premier League matches this season, helping the club to 13 points and tenth place after the opening ten rounds.
The 32-year-old's original agreement was for two years, with an additional year available through an option. Villa have now exercised that provision, securing his services for another season.
Speaking to Fotbollskanalen, Lindelöf expressed his satisfaction with the decision.
"It feels good. I signed for two plus one years. It's the option year that has now been extended. I'm really enjoying myself, both at the club and in England as a country. It's nice and gives you security," he said.
The defender has also become an important figure for Sweden, having earned 84 senior international caps and scored three goals. He has contributed two assists at international level and continues to provide experience and leadership to the national team.
Lindelöf is equally pleased with his current situation at Villa, where his versatility allows him to operate both in central defence and as a defensive midfielder.
"I'm enjoying myself and doing the best I can to help the team. I feel that I'm in a good place," he said.
The extension represents a further reward for a player who has quickly become a regular under Emery. Having arrived after his departure from Manchester United, Lindelöf has found stability and an important role in Birmingham.
His immediate focus is now on Sweden's Nations League commitments, with the defender set to face Bosnia and Herzegovina before the national team travels to Poland.
