Alisha Lehmann has revealed who the biggest celebrity to slide into her DMs has been.
Lehmann, 25, moved from Aston Villa to Juventus during the summer in a ‘couples’ transfer with her partner Douglas Luiz, who also traded Birmingham for Turin.
The Swiss international was previously reported to have received an eye-watering £245,000 every time she uploads a post to her Instagram account – which has over 16 million followers.
Her popularity on social media has resulted in several high-profile celebrities allegedly sliding into her DMs, including Drake, who reportedly asked her for a jersey.

Several legendary sports people also follow Lehmann on Instagram, including a World Cup winner.
“Probably Ronaldo [Nazario] from Brazil,” she replied when asked who her most famous followers were when speaking to BBC Sport in 2023.
“One of the GOATs. But it’s Instagram, it’s not the real world.”
And, of course, fans will want to know who else has messaged the Swiss international, but she was not willing to disclose this information.
“Yeah obviously,” she said when asked if there was a list of celebs who had got in touch via social media.
“I don’t have a best one," she admitted.
"There's some good, good ones, but I can’t tell you. It's impossible. It’s too private, I think.”
In 2023. Lehmann claimed she received a rather forward DM from an unnamed celebrity who was offering money to meet up with the forward.
"Of course, I didn't answer, it was crazy,” he told the Shirin David YouTube channel.
"The thing is, I still have the message. He's a bit stupid," she added.
Although Lehmann will be one of the highest-earning female footballers due to her commercial commitments on social media, she is a leading voice in the movement for better pay.
“It’s unfair,” she explained [via MSN] in September 2024.
“We do the same job, but he [Douglas Luiz] earns a hundred thousand times more than me.”
According to reports, Lehmann’s wages are thought to be around $200,000 (£150,000) per year - a far cry away from the earnings of most professional male’s wages.
In contrast, Luiz is reportedly earning an eye-watering amount thought to be around $9.2m (£7.1m) per annum, according to data by AI Score.
She recently discussed the issue in an interview with Gazzetta, explaining: “It’s something that affects me because I’m a woman. Obviously, there’s still a long way to go on the path we’re on because there may never be equal pay.”
