Aston Villa are negotiating a new contract with Matsen

Aston Villa are making progress in talks with Jan Matsen over a new contract. The club are keen to secure the 24-year-old defender's long-term future at Villa Park. In the Birmingham team, Matsen is considered one of the key and untouchable football players and they do not plan to sell him during the summer transfer window. The Dutchman plays an important role in Unai Emery's plans, so Aston Villa will want to make it clear that they are not ready to entertain offers for his transfer. Currently, the parties' priority is to agree on improved financial terms of the contract. In this way, the club also seeks to protect itself from the interest of Manchester United and other potential suitors for the player. According to journalist Ekrem Konur, negotiations on a new agreement are already showing progress. As part of Aston Villa, Matsen has become an important part of Emery's team, and the club's management is determined to keep the defender long-term. Jan Matsen's current contract with Birmingham expires in the summer of 2030.
