The Swiss star - who has been informally labelled 'the world's sexiest footballer' - first began dating Luiz back in 2021, before they broke up a year later and rekindled at the start of 2024. Since then, the couple had enjoyed a close relationship and both sealed a move to Italian giants Juventus during the summer window last year. Luiz joined from Aston Villa for £42. 4 million having emerged as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. Lehmann followed suit just seven days later, also moving from Villa. According to Gazzetta dello Sport,  Lehmann and Luiz split some time ago and the pair are seen having different futures with Juventus. Juventus stars Alisha Lehmann and Douglas Luiz have reportedly ended their relationship Lehmann and Luiz began dating in 2021 and both joined Juventus last summer from Aston Villa Lehmann is expected to stay at the club, while Luiz is reportedly set to leave this summer Lehmann is expected to remain at the club, with the Swiss international contracted to Juventus Women's team until 2027. The 26-year-old, whose move alongside Luiz was the first 'couples transfer' of that kind, has seen her campaign also disrupted by fitness issues. Lehmann was then criticised last week for her alleged over-the-top celebrations after Juventus beat AC Milan to win the Serie A title, given she has played just 37 minutes this year. Following their triumph, the jubilant Juventus players were quick to revel in their achievement, dancing on the field in formation. But Lehmann appeared to be leading the dance at the front on her own, with her team-mates lined up behind her, and this appeared to touch a nerve with some supporters, who argued she had a minimal role in the actual campaign. The Swiss international only played eight minutes of the title-clinching win, her first league outing since a nine-minute cameo again against AC Milan on February 9. In fact, Lehmann has only played 37 minutes since the turn of the year, and is yet to feature for 90 minutes since a clash with Sassuolo back in November. To date, that is also the only time she played a full 90 minutes since joining from Villa, with the Swiss attacking midfielder having struggled to break into the first team. Lehmann (No 7) has had a minor role at Juventus but was at the heart of their title celebrations Lehmann was criticised by fans for her role in Juventus' Serie A title-winning celebrations The Switzerland international has struggled to break into the first team since joining Juventus Lehmann is expected to stay, while Luiz could be set to depart the club following their split While Lehmann is expected to remain at the club, Luiz is reportedly looking to leave the Italian giants after a disastrous campaign, having played 23 times in all competitions. Luiz has made three starts in Serie A and his progress has been hampered by a string of niggling injuries, which has seen him labelled as a Juventus flop. The midfielder was linked with a move away in January, but stayed put, although his future heading into the summer window remains uncertain. Luiz hit back at a supporter on social media this week, after the questioned whether the Brazilian had moved to Italy to post on Instagram or to play. 'I didn’t come here just to post photos, ' Luiz fired back. 'No one else did that, and I want things to be different. I came here with a purpose. I listened to my heart when I arrived and decided to sign. 'Now I want you to answer me: why hasn’t a signing like mine played two consecutive games with this shirt? 'You can say what you want to the press later: “Oh, Douglas is not fit. ” Am I not fit? I did all the pre-season and played every game.   'I had just had one of the best seasons of my career, one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. ' Luiz fired back at a fan after he was questioned on whether he came to Italy to play football Luiz has struggled for form and fitness since joining the Italian giants from Aston Villa last year Luiz did go onto reflect on his injury issues in the lengthy reply, before he reaffirmed his commitment to Juventus. 'Injuries have hindered me, yes, ' he added. 'But how long did I remain on the bench while I was healthy? A lot. These injuries were not normal. 'I have never been a player who gets injured, but there are so many things that could have caused this that I would rather not comment on. 'I will continue to do everything for this club, even if sometimes it is difficult, it is not easy, but you can count on me! '
