Amadou Onana in line for fresh Aston Villa terms beyond current deal

Aston Villa are preparing to extend Amadou Onana’s contract, with the Belgium midfielder expected to commit his future to the club until June 2031.

Onana currently has an agreement with the Premier League club that runs until June 2029, but Villa’s hierarchy are understood to be keen to secure a longer-term arrangement for one of their most important central midfielders. The proposed extension would add two further years to his existing contract.

The possible new deal has been reported by Sebastien Denis and would underline Aston Villa’s desire to build continuity around a player who has become an increasingly significant part of the team.

Onana, 25, was born to Senegalese parents and has established himself as an important figure at Villa since joining the club. His performances at club level have also helped him retain his place with Belgium, for whom he took part in the most recent World Cup.

The midfielder’s progress has strengthened his standing both within the Aston Villa squad and on the wider transfer market. He is currently valued at €45m, a figure that reflects the importance attached to him by the club and his perceived long-term potential.

A new contract would give Villa greater protection around a player who remains under agreement for several seasons, while also recognising his development since arriving at the club. The proposed commitment through June 2031 would represent a significant show of faith in Onana’s role in the team’s future.

There is no suggestion that the midfielder is seeking an immediate departure, with the planned extension instead pointing to Aston Villa’s intention to keep him at the club for the longer term. The agreement has yet to be formally confirmed, but negotiations are expected to lead to a new commitment soon.

Aston Villa are next due to play Hull City in the third round of the English league season. The fixture is listed with Aston Villa at odds of 1.83 to win, while a draw is priced at 3.70 and a Hull City victory at 4.00 by betting company 1xbet, which also promotes the option to download its service.

The upcoming match will provide Villa with another opportunity to make use of Onana in midfield as they continue their campaign. For the club, however, the longer-term priority is securing the Belgium international’s future and ensuring that one of their key midfield options remains tied to Aston Villa until at least 2031.
