Querétaro, León and Club América

According to Esquivel, Querétaro, León and Club América are the three clubs looking to sign Lehmann, with the latter being "the most advanced team" in their bid to sign the Swiss.

"She could come to Mexico"

Esquivel is hopeful that Lehmann will end up playing in Mexico. "The Swiss player, considered one of the best on the planet, could come to Mexico."

Deal until 2026 at Aston Villa

Lehman currently plays for Aston Villa, where she has a contract until 2026. This means that any club that wants to sign her will have to pay a transfer fee.

Failing to have an impact this season

Lehmann has failed to make an impact for Villa this season in the WSL, not scoring a single goal or providing a single assist, according to FotMob. She did, however, score two times in the Women's League Cup, per Aston Villa News.

Adriana Leon

Aston Villa News believes Lehmann's lack of impact has partly to do with the arrival of Adriana Leon from Manchester United, who has scored five goals and gave three assists in the WSL, according to FotMob.

Social media superstar

Apart from being a star in the football pitch, Lehmann is also a global social media star, with 16.7 million (and counting) followers on Instagram.

"A miss on and off the pitch"

Her leaving would have a huge impact on Villa, not only on the field. "Add to this the influence she has on the team and its fan base with her gigantic social media following. She would certainly be a miss on and off the pitch," Aston Villa News' Max Wilkins puts it.
