Alisha Lehmann to Liga MX?! Three Mexican clubs 'negotiating' shock transfer deal for Aston Villa star - with WSL in real danger of losing major asset

Lehmann has played a reduced role at Villa this year, starting just 11 of her 18 games as the end of the season nears. As such, she is also yet to score in the league this term.

It appears that are clubs in Mexico keen to capitalise on that situation and offer Lehmann a chance to be a key player again, with journalist Fernando Esquivel understanding that Queretaro, Leon and Club America are all interested in the Switzerland star and have started "dealings" to bring her to South America.

The report says that, of that trio, Club America is leading the race. The Eagles are two-time champions in Liga MX Femenil, winning the Clausura as recently as 2023. It is expected that "negotiations will progress", with the WSL now in danger of losing one of their major assets.

Mexico has one of the most exciting and fastest-growing women's league in the world. It constantly produces impressive attendance and television audience figures and has attracted some of the game's top stars, including Jennifer Hermoso, Spain's World Cup-winning forward.

Further information on Lehmann's future is sure to come in the next few weeks as her season with Villa comes to a close. The 25-year-old has a contract in England until 2026, so a transfer fee will likely be required to secure her services.
