Filip Jörgensen arrived at Villarreal in 2017 at the age of 16. Seven years later, the young goalkeeper has become the starting goalkeeper for the first team and has had an outstanding season.
The Nordic goalkeeper has made the most saves in La Liga this year, with a total of 143.
These statistics have been enough for Villarreal CF to decide to renew Jörgensen's contract until 2029.
His contract was set to expire in 2025, and he was strongly linked to several Premier League teams. With this renewal, the club reaffirms the continuity of one of its academy's gems.
In the video of his renewal, Filip thanks the club for the courage to trust such a young player in a delicate moment for the team.
The investment has proven satisfactory, and Villarreal now has a long-term goalkeeper. The new release clause is around 45 million euros.
Despite the team's poor start and first half of the season in La Liga and the changes in coaches, Villarreal finished eighth and almost reached the European spots. The excellent second half of the season has been a morale boost for the team and the breakthrough of players like Jörgensen, Baena, and Sorloth.
The rumors surrounding the goalkeeper position have been silenced, but they are expected to continue regarding other key players. It is going to be a long summer in the Villarreal offices.
