McGinn said that when his contract situation arose, the club made it clear that he wasn't for sale and was valued highly. He was told that he was important to the team and that the owners and manager wanted him to stay.

McGinn signed a new contract until 2028, and said that the confidence the club showed in him made it an easy decision. He trusted the words of the manager, club chief, and owners, who told him that they wanted him to stay and that he had more to give.

McGinn praised the club for standing by their word and sorting out his contract situation. He said that it's easy for clubs to say one thing but do another, but Aston Villa's owners and management team were true to their word.

McGinn is now looking forward to continuing to play for the club and help them move forward. He said that he's happy to have gotten his contract situation sorted and is now focused on training and playing for the team.
