Aston Villa extend Maatsen's deal until 2032 after signing

See us more often on Google: Ian Maatsen has put his signature on a new contract with Aston Villa that runs until mid‑2032, while he is currently preparing with the Netherlands for the Nations League meeting with Greece on Friday of the competition.

Contract details and confirmation

The 24‑year‑old left‑back is currently preparing with the Netherlands for the Nations League match against Greece on Friday of the competition. Fabrizio Romano reports that the signing has already taken place. The official confirmation from Aston Villa is still awaited. Since August, Maatsen and Villa have been in talks about a new contract.

Reason for Villa's interest

Previously his contract ran until mid‑2030, so the extension by two years pushes the term to summer 2032. In England rumors circulated that the club and player had agreed on a contract extension. Maatsen is a mainstay in Birmingham and an indispensable asset for manager Unai Emery, who has few alternatives at left‑back.

Background and impact

In the summer of 2024 Aston Villa signed the left‑back from Chelsea for a transfer fee of €44.5 million. That same year he played as a loanee for Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final. Now that he is back in the Netherlands squad for the first time in a year and a half, he will focus on the upcoming clash with Greece and later with Germany. The extension means that both Villa and the national team can count on a stable left‑back for the coming years.
