West Ham reportedly hold an option to extend Konstantinos Mavropanos’ contract, giving the club another potential route to keeping the Greece defender beyond his existing deal.
Claret & Hugh reports, citing an unnamed source, that the Hammers have an extension clause in the centre-back’s agreement.
The report does not specify how long the option would add or whether West Ham intend to activate it.
Mavropanos’ official club profile confirms that he joined from Stuttgart on a five-year contract in August 2023. That original agreement runs to summer 2028.
Mavropanos contract claim adds to West Ham retention picture
Claret & Hugh also claims West Ham would be prepared to discuss an improved deal if they regain Premier League status.
Those are separate possibilities: exercising an existing option would extend his current agreement, while negotiating a new contract could involve revised terms.
Neither an activated extension nor a new deal has been announced in the sources cited.
Mavropanos’ importance provides the context for the discussion. The 28-year-old won West Ham’s 2025/26 Hammer of the Year award and has remained prominent for club and country.
He also received backing in Greece after Thursday’s draw with the Netherlands, with local coverage highlighting his defensive contribution despite his involvement in the visitors’ first goal.
For supporters, the key detail is that his original contract already extends beyond this season. The reported option could offer additional security, but its duration and any decision to use it remain unclear.
