Alisha Lehmann, 25, discussed the salary disparity between her and her boyfriend Douglas Silva, 26, in an interview with the newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport. Both are players for the Italian club Juventus.
Douglas signed a contract with Juventus worth $55 million, about $111,000 per week, while Alisha earned $222,000 annually at Aston Villa.
“I often talk to Douglas about this at home and tell him it’s not fair. We do the same job, but he earns a hundred times more than I do,” said Alisha.
“It affects me because I am a woman. Obviously, there is still a long way to go on this journey because there may never be equal pay,” continued the player.
Alisha Lehmann also addressed the unfair criticism of women’s football. “If someone comes with jokes, I always ask: ‘Have you ever watched a game?’ Probably not, because when you watch a game, you see how good and passionate we are,” she commented.
