Juventus Football Club has officially announced the signing of Swiss international forward Alisha Lehmann from Aston Villa, with a contract extending until June 30, 2027. Lehmann, 25, is set to bolster the attacking options for Juventus Women’s team under the guidance of head coach Massimiliano Canzi.
Lehmann’s football journey began at the age of nine with FC Konolfingen, followed by a move to BSC YB Frauen, where she made her debut in the Swiss Women’s Super League in 2016. Her impressive performance, including finishing as the league’s top scorer in the subsequent season, earned her a transfer to England’s West Ham United in the Women’s Super League. After a loan spell with Everton, she joined Aston Villa, where she spent three seasons before her move to Turin.
In her international career, Lehmann has earned 52 caps for Switzerland, contributing two appearances in the 2023 Women’s World Cup. Her versatility and attacking prowess are expected to complement Canzi’s preferred 3-4-3 formation, which emphasizes dynamic wing play—a role well-suited to Lehmann’s strengths.
Lehmann’s arrival at Juventus is particularly noteworthy as it coincides with the signing of her partner, Douglas Luiz, who has joined Juventus Men’s team from Aston Villa. This unique “couple” transfer has garnered significant attention in the football community.
Off the field, Lehmann has amassed a substantial following on social media, with over 17 million Instagram followers, making her one of the most prominent figures in women’s football. Her move to Juventus is anticipated to enhance the club’s visibility and appeal both on and off the pitch.
As Juventus prepares for the upcoming season, Lehmann’s addition is expected to play a crucial role in the team’s pursuit of domestic and European success. Fans eagerly await her debut in the Bianconeri jersey, anticipating the impact she will bring to the squad.
