Aston Villa‘s Alisha Lehmann shared that she received an offer of £90,000 (100,000CHf) from an ‘very well-known person’ to spend the night with him.
The forward is one of the most recognisable faces in international women’s football, and boasts over 15.5million Instagram followers.
Lehmann was thought to be the most valuable women’s footballer featuring at this summer’s Women’s World Cup on the social media platform, with her average media value per post to be a spectacular £241,314.
The 24-year-old also became the first-ever female brand ambassador for KSI and Logan Paul‘s sports hydration drink Prime, joining the ranks of male peers such as Erling Haaland.
Such is her fame that the WSL star is also releasing her own calendar for the second year in a row.
Her renown having grown beyond the WSL, Lehmann has likely experienced a level of interest from fans internationally – but one request raised eyebrows for the Swiss starlet.
‘I was in Miami, my favorite place, and I met some friends at a club,’ the player explained on DirTea Talk podcast. ‘I got a message on my mobile, which I didn’t reply to, but the same person then messaged the bodyguard looking after me.’
‘The texts came from a very well known person. We had previously bumped into one another at an event.
‘The message said, “I will pay Alisha 100,000 Swiss francs (roughly $110,000) to spend a night with her.”‘
Lehmann turned down the offer, whilst questioning the amount teasingly, prompting the unnamed man to repeat-message her bodyguard.
‘But my answer was – no way! And just 100,000?,’ Lehmann added. ‘The crazy thing is that I still have his message on my phone. It is a bit stupid.’
When asked to reveal a hint about the identity of the man, she was tight-lipped, saying: ‘I cannot reveal his name. But he is very, very well known on an international level.’
n the same conversation, Lehmann told listeners that rapper Drake had been in touch with her ‘in the last three days’ to request an Aston Villa jersey of hers.
The player did not confirm whether she had greenlit the request of the For All The Dogs artist, but if she did, Drake may find the jersey she sends wanting.
Villa has struggled this season with their matchday shirts, with the Castore fabric becoming drenched with sweat within minutes of competitive action.
Carla Ward’s side were forced to don the kits during their season opener against Manchester United, despite complaints from both the men’s and the women’s sides.
The club are believed to have looked into terminating their partnership with the brand early, and have encouraged Castore to find a solution to the heavy shirts – which may be affecting team performance – as quickly as possible.
In February, Lehmann spoke about how she has dealt with her rapid rise to fame both on and off the pitch.
Some people just see Instagram and social media and don’t even know I actually play football, when I don’t post a football picture for a week, people say, “oh she doesn’t even play”‘, she explained.
‘I think sometimes it’s a bit hard because obviously I play like I train every day, like everyone else, like I play every weekend and sometimes it’s hard because they make a picture of you.
‘I’m a proper footballer. I work hard every day. I want to be the best version of myself in football and that’s my first priority in life.’
The 42-cap international joined Villa in 2021 and in August extended her stay in the Midlands until 2026, with the option of a further year.
