Alisha Lehmann is one of the biggest names in the Women’s Super League but it looks like she could be on the way out of Aston Villa. In a shocking turn of events, her next destination could be Mexico.

According to Fernando Esquivel of 365Scores, three Liga MX Femenil clubs have started negotiations to sign the Swiss star. The teams in question are Club America, Leon, and Queretaro.

But the Aguilas are reportedly leading the race to make this happen, with negotiations expected to progress in the next few weeks. Though we’re talking about one of the most important teams in the country, Lehmann’s arrival would still make noise.

The 25-year-old, however, is under contract at Aston Villa until 2026, so any suitor will be required to break the bank to sign her. Either way, the mere interest Mexican clubs are showing in the player is enough to raise eyebrows.

Lehmann’s playing time in England has decreased this term, as the forward made just 11 starts in 18 appearances for the Villans. With the campaign coming to an end, she has yet to find the net for her side.
