Alisha Lehmann Leaves Juventus, Joins Serie A’s Como on Three-Year Deal

Alisha Lehmann, the Swiss international footballer known for her significant social media following and dubbed the 'world's sexiest footballer,' has made a surprising transfer from Juventus to Serie A side FC Como. Despite helping Juventus secure a league and cup double last season, her 2024-25 campaign was disrupted by fitness issues, limited playing time, and criticism over her celebrations after Juventus' title win. Lehmann seeks a fresh start at Como, drawn by the club's independent, women-focused ethos and a project with real purpose and vision, distinct from traditional men’s club affiliations. FC Como, acquired in 2024 by the investment group Mercury13, aims to 'rethink football ownership' with a strong commitment to women's football, attracting high-profile investors like Giorgio Chiellini and Juan Mata. Lehmann emphasizes the importance of a female-first mentality and the opportunity for women's football to define itself on its own terms, which influenced her decision to join a club that finished in the bottom half of Serie A and does not yet offer European football. Her move follows a complex personal backdrop, including a high-profile relationship and subsequent split from former Aston Villa and Brazil midfielder Douglas Luiz, with whom she previously completed a rare 'couples transfer' to Juventus.
