Love gone sour: Alisha Lehmann and Douglas Luiz break up AGAIN months after sealing couple’s transfer to Juventus

David Ben 13:23 - 02.05.2025

Love may have brought them to Italy but it could not keep the world's most followed female footballer and her Brazilian boyfriend together.

One of football’s power couples have officially called it quits for the second time in four years.

Alisha Lehmann and Douglas Luiz, who made headlines with their sensational couple’s transfer to Juventus last summer, have broken up less than a year after their romantic and professional move to Turin.

What Happened?

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Brazilian midfielder is already eyeing a move away from Juventus after a difficult debut season, while Swiss star Lehmann has no intentions of leaving the club or the city she now calls home.

However, Pulse Sports can confirm the pair are no longer together, amid the differing views on their future.

Lehmann, who has settled well into life in Turin and enjoyed a title-winning season with Juventus Women, is reportedly keen to stay.

Her contract runs until 2027 and she is thriving both on and off the pitch, signing deals and increasing her endorsement portfolio.

Meanwhile, Douglas Luiz has had a nightmare spell plagued by injuries and limited game time.

The 26-year-old midfielder has also made his frustrations painfully clear.

Luiz has not held back.

Earlier this week, in a fiery social media rant, the ex-Aston Villa star responded to fans questioning his impact at Juventus.

His statement was raw and revealing:

“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,” Luiz wrote as per La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“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.”

Luiz continued, pulling no punches:

“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.”

Douglas Luiz & Alisha Lehmann’s romance gone sour

Despite the passion, Luiz reportedly missed Lehmann’s title-clinching match against AC Milan, a major red flag for fans of the couple.

And while neither has officially confirmed the breakup, the signs are everywhere.

The world’s most followed female footballer, has already deleted several key posts featuring Luiz from her Instagram page, including last year’s romantic birthday post showing the two locking lips.

Though they still follow each other on Instagram as at the time of this publication, it’s only a matter of time before that changes as well.

The pair had rekindled their love in January last year, after an earlier split in November 2022.

Their simultaneous move from Aston Villa to Juventus, hailed as a “couple’s transfer” — had fans swooning.

But now, just months later, the fairytale is over.

With Luiz linked to a summer move to Nottingham Forest and Lehmann settled in Turin, their paths are set to diverge both personally and professionally.
