Football News Update: Alisha Lehmann Set to Join Juventus
In a significant move within the football world, Swiss international Alisha Lehmann is set to complete a transfer from Aston Villa to Juventus. The talented forward has traveled to Turin to undergo a medical and finalize the details of her move.
Juventus have agreed a fee with Aston Villa for Lehmann’s services, and the transfer is expected to be completed in the near future. This move will see Lehmann reunite with her partner, Douglas Luiz, who recently joined Juventus from Aston Villa.
Lehmann’s transfer to Juventus will be the Italian club’s second signing from the Women’s Super League (WSL) this week, following the arrival of Everton’s record signing, Hanna Bennison, on Wednesday.
“Lehmann’s transfer to Juventus will be the Italian club’s second signing from the Women’s Super League (WSL) this week.”
The 24-year-old Lehmann has been a standout performer in the WSL, having spent the last seven seasons in the league, previously playing for West Ham and Everton before joining Aston Villa three years ago.
In other football news, the 2024/25 Women’s Super League season is set to kick off on the weekend of September 21 and 22. The Barclays Women’s Championship, the second tier of women’s football in England, will begin a fortnight earlier on the weekend of September 7 and 8.
The upcoming WSL season will feature a winter break between December 16 and January 18, with the campaign concluding on the weekend of May 10 and May 11, 2025. This timing is significant, as it comes just 42 days after the women’s gold medal final at the Paris Olympics, where Team GB failed to qualify after England’s unsuccessful Nations League campaign.
Meanwhile, the 2024/25 Women’s League Cup dates have also been confirmed, with the group stage running from early October until mid-December. The final will be played on the weekend of March 15 and 16, 2025.
