Premier League summer window is about to close, former Manchester United defender is about to buzzer-bearing the new owner

After Manchester United veteran Lindelof's contract expired on June 30 this year, he left Old Trafford as a free agent and said goodbye to him for eight years. The Swedish player is 31 years old and is still in his first year of playing as a central defender.

Lindelof just started playing football in his hometown team Westeros after his debut. A year later, he was spotted by Benfica. The Portuguese Super League spent 3.1 million euros to recruit Lindelof, who was under 18 years old at the time. During his five years at Benfica, Lindelof performed stably, helping the team win three Portuguese Super League and two Portuguese Cup championships. During this period, Lindelov also won the 2015 U21 European Cup with young talents from Sweden. In the summer of 2017, Lindelof signed a 35 million euro transfer fee, plus an additional clause of 10 million euros, left the Iberian Peninsula, crossed the sea to the north, landed in the UK, joined the Red Devils Manchester United, and landed on a higher platform.

The cost of Manchester United signing Lindelof exceeded the cost of introducing Ferdinand in 2002, setting a record for transfer fees for the Red Devils club to introduce central defenders at that time.

Lindelof's eight years at Old Trafford, Manchester United is in an adjustment oscillation period. He has only won two championship trophys with the Red Devils.

Lindelov made his debut for the Swedish national team at the age of 21. So far, he has played in 71 international games for the Vikings. As a central defender player, while completing his defensive job, he also scored 3 goals and assisted 1 for the Swedish national team.

In 2018, Lindelov defeated Ibrahimovic and was elected Sweden Player of the Year. In 2021, Lindelof wore the captain's armband of the Swedish national team, which symbolizes qualifications and honors.

Starting from the 2022/23 season, with the increasing age and the impact of injuries, Lindelof faded out of the main lineup of the Red Devils, and his playing time has decreased year by year, but he is still a regular substitute and rotation candidate.

After Lindelof left Manchester United, there was a rumor of affair with Fiorentina, but in the end the negotiations between the two sides failed to eliminate the differences, and he missed the opportunity to join the Serie A in the purple lily suit.

As the remaining time in the summer transfer window period is getting less and less, no news has been heard that Lindelof has found a new owner, which makes fans who care about him worry.

In fact, another Premier League powerhouse Aston Villa has been in close contact with Lindelof. The 2025 Premier League summer transfer window will be closed at 1900 London time on September 1, London time. Villars will immediately announce the buzzer-beating of Lindelof.

Aston Villa's income in the transfer market this summer mainly comes from selling his youth training player Ramsey to Newcastle United for 45.15 million euros. In addition, selling young man Hayden to the English Championship team Coventry, earning 4 million euros. Jamaican Leon Bailey was loaned to Rome, while Argentine Barrenecea was loaned to Benfica, and each made a profit of 3 million euros.

After spending 30 million euros to introduce Gaisan from Nice and 7 million euros to Turkish young player Ozjan, Aston Villa still has a surplus in transfer income, but not much. At this time, getting Lindelof without visa is naturally a great thing for the Villas.

The Premier League has finished three rounds in the 2025/26 season, with Aston Villa draws 1 and 2 losses, ranking 19th, temporarily sinking into the relegation zone, which is far from the 6th place last season. I believe that the arrival of experienced Lindelov will make the famous Spanish coach Emery more abundant when he arranges troops on the defense line.
