First, it was Luiz who signed for the Turin club last week for a 5-year deal from Aston Villa. The midfielder, who has impressed many in the Premier League, cost Juventus approximately $54 million for the transfer. Subsequently, Lehmann followed suit signing a three-year contract with the 5-time Italian champions. She was with the Birmingham club from 2021 appearing for them 74 times scoring 14 goals. She also won the Women’s Supporters’ Player of the Season in 2022.
However, both Lehmann and Luiz appear to be in coherence in their relationship and will move together to Turin. The couple started dating in 2021 and made it public the same year. However, the pair decided to break up for a brief while in November 2022 due to a few disagreements but have patched up later and, also, made history with this iconic move. But this wasn’t the only reason for Speed’s excitement.
