Report Alisha Lehmann and Douglas Luiz split up as ex-Villa star considers Juventus exit | OneFootball

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Douglas Luiz and Alisha Lehmann have broken up as the Brazilian midfielder is considering leaving Juventus in the summer, while she wants to remain in Turin.

Douglas Luiz and Alisha Lehmann have reportedly broken up as they have different views on their future.

They both joined Juventus from Aston Villa last summer, but they have taken very different paths since.

Douglas Luiz has been struggling with injuries and playing time at the Allianz Stadium, while Alisha Lehmann won the Serie A title in her first season with Juventus Women.

According to Gazzetta, Lehmann doesn’t want to leave Turin as her contract expires in 2027, and she has settled well at the club and in the city.

On the other hand, Douglas Luiz is considering leaving Juventus already after just one season, and his frustration was evident earlier this week when he complained about a lack of playing time on social media.

Douglas Luiz’s contract with Juventus’ men’s first team expires in June 2029, and Nottingham Forest have recently been linked with securing his services.

Gazzetta reports that Douglas Luiz didn’t even attend the latest Juventus Women game against Milan, after which they secured the sixth Serie A title in the last eight seasons.

What Douglas Luiz said on social media

The ex-Aston Villa star, one of the best Premier League midfielders last season, complained about his injuries and his lack of playing time in Turin, replying to a provocative comment from a Juventus fan.

“I didn’t come here just to take pictures; nobody else did. I want things to be different. I came with a purpose, I listened to my heart when I signed,” the midfielder said.

“Now, I want you to answer me: why hasn’t a signing like me played two consecutive matches with this shirt?

“You can say whatever you want to the press later: ‘Douglas isn’t fit.’ Am I not fit? I did the entire pre-season and played every match,” Douglas Luiz continued.

“I had come off one of the best seasons of my career, one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League. Injuries held me back. True.

“But how long did I stay on the bench while I was fit? A lot. These injuries were not normal. I’ve never been injury-prone, but there are many reasons that could have caused this, which I’d rather not comment on. I will keep giving everything for this club, even though it’s hard sometimes. It’s not easy, but you can count on me.”
