Alisha Lehmann has made a surprise move from Juventus after helping them win a league and cup double last season by joining Serie A side Como. 

Lehmann, 26, only joined the Bianconeri a year ago from Aston Villa along with her former partner Douglas Luiz. 

She is now seeking a new beginning after experiencing challenges during Euro 2025, where she played only 10 minutes for the host country, Switzerland.

The Swiss international has also made waves in recent through her relationship with former Villa midfielder and Brazil international Luiz. 

They reportedly ended their relationship in May, having initially begun dating in 2021. They broke up a year later, got back together at the start of 2024, and have allegedly parted ways once more.

Her transfer alongside Luiz to Juventus from Villa marked the first ‘couples transfer.’ However, Lehmann’s 2024-25 season was hampered by fitness problems.

Lehmann faced criticism for reportedly excessive celebrations following Juventus’ win over AC Milan for the Serie A title, considering she played just 37 minutes this year.

Following their triumph, the jubilant Juventus players were quick to revel in their achievement, dancing on the field in formation.

Lehmann led the celebratory dance at the front, with teammates behind her, which upset some fans who felt she had a minimal impact on the season.

Outlining her reasons for joining Como, Lehmann said that it was because of the Italian side’s ethos when it comes to women’s football.

In an interview with The Guardian, she expressed that being part of a club solely focused on women’s football is important to her, reflecting on her time at Aston Villa, Everton, and West Ham.

‘From the start, I could see this wasn’t just another team; it’s a project with real purpose and vision. [So] signing with FC Como Women just felt right.’

The club were purchased in 2024 by investment group Mercury13, which pledged to ‘rethink football ownership’ – although the women’s side does not have any affiliation with the men’s team.

She previously dated fellow Juventus star Douglas Luiz, but they have reportedly split up

Lehmann was given her own bodyguard at Euro 2025 due to her significant popularity with fans at the tournament. 

‘We always ensure that the safety of the players is our top priority in all stadiums,’ Sven Micosse, press spokesperson for the Swiss women’s national team, told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. 

‘This is organized by UEFA during the tournament, and our head of security is always on site.

‘After the matches, he is always there when the players approach the fans, and due to Alisha Lehmann’s fame, he sometimes accompanies them a little further.’

Lehmann gave her followers a behind-the-scenes look into life at the Euros away from the pitch, embarking on sight-seeing trips and days off with her team-mates.

Some football fans have instead hailed Swedish striker Alice Sondergaard as the ‘world’s sexiest footballer instead – after she completed her move to Genoa last month.

Sondergaard, 22, has already made waves at the top level, having received her first call-up for her country aged 15. 

She will now look to keep Genoa in the Italian top-flight after they were promoted to the division for the very first time.

Sondergaard was crucial to Bologna’s superb campaign last time out, a club which fought Genoa for a spot in the top-flight until the bitter end.

She previously played for Verona, also in Italy, and scored plenty of goals in Serie B.

But her latest high-profile move has seen her thrust into the spotlight again and supporters were quick to focus on her beauty, placing her on a pedestal above Switzerland superstar Lehmann.
