Alisha Lehmann is one of the most popular sportswomen in the world. She owes her recognition to her soccer skills, her adeptness in the media world, and her extraordinary beauty. She seemed to have all the attributes to become a fan favourite in Italy.
It's been 17 weeks since the 25-year-old Alisha Lehmann was introduced at Juventus, yet rumours are already of a possible return for her and Douglas Luiz to England. In particular, the Brazilian is struggling at the club from Turin and is not meeting the expectations set by the Italians for a transfer costing £42.5 million (CAD 71 million).
Alisha Lehmann and Douglas Luiz can't imagine a long separation. In their previous two clubs, Aston Villa and Juventus, they played simultaneously, allowing them to spend all their free time together. They are likely planning their next move together as well.
There are reports in England about Douglas Luiz's possible loan to Aston Villa. This would be a return to his former club, where he could rebuild his form. He is having trouble securing a spot in Juventus' lineup, and when he plays, he disappoints.
As if the unpleasant experiences in Italy weren't enough, news broke of a break-in at the home of Alisha Lehmann and Douglas Luiz at the end of October. The burglars caused damage and stole items estimated to be worth about CAD 530,000. The couple might have also lost their sense of security.
16.9 million people on Instagram follow Alisha Lehmann, who has also gained popularity on other social media platforms. This popularity allows her to secure lucrative advertising contracts.
