Juventus have completed the signing of Alisha Lehmann from Aston Villa.
Lehmann’s arrival at Juventus comes a week after the Italian club announced the purchase of her partner, Douglas Luiz, from Villa. Luiz signed a five-year deal with Juventus, with Lehmann agreeing to a three-year contract.
“An emotional goodbye, I wanna say thank you to my teammates, staff and of course the amazing fans,” Lehmann posted in a farewell to Villa on social media. “I spend the best three years so far of my career at this amazing club, every single minute I enjoyed.
“Thank you for everything Aston Villa. You will always have a special place in my heart, and of course a part of me will be there forever. Thank you.”
Lehmann leaves Villa after making 74 appearances in three seasons with the Women’s Super League club. The 25-year-old forward scored 14 goals in that time and helped Villa to ninth-, fifth- and seventh-place finishes in the WSL.
Lehmann is a Switzerland international and has represented her country on 53 occasions since making her debut in 2017.
Juventus finished second in last season’s Serie A Femminile, 11 points behind league winners Roma.
