Alisha Lehmann has followed Douglas Luiz by making the move from Aston Villa to Juventus.
In doing so the couple have made history by becoming the first boyfriend and girlfriend transfer.
Luiz moved to the Italian powerhouse recently, finalising a £50million transfer.
His partner Lehmann has now followed suit, ending her three-year stint at Villa.
During her time with the Villans, she netted 14 goals in 74 appearances and was voted Supporters’ Player of the Year last season.
Lehmann contributed to Villa’s best-ever WSL finish last term and helped them reach the semi-finals of both domestic cup competitions.
The Swiss expressed her delight after her transfer was announced, saying: “I’m overjoyed. Juve has a great history – so much so that I have to be honest: I was a bit nervous when I got out of my car for my medical check-up and saw so many fans. But everything is great.”
She wrote on Instagram: “New chapter, couldn’t be more happy💪🏼, Forza Juve⚪️⚫️”
Lehmann also paid thanks to Villa, writing: “An emotional goodbye, I wanna say thank you to my team-mates, staff and of course the amazing fans.
“I spent the best three years so far of my career at this amazing club, every single minute I enjoyed.
Lehmann, 25, has put pen to paper on a three-year deal – two years shorter than Luiz’s contract.
Speaking about moving with her boyfriend, Lehmann said: “For Douglas and me to be together in the same club is a dream.
“We have often played in different cities, so being able to have these great adventures in the same place is something wonderful.”
