The couple aren't the first victims of similar crimes in the Juve setup with Moise Kean, Kaio Jorge and Angel Di Maria also suffering the same fate in recent years.

The pair had been dating on-and-off for a while in the UK but took their relationship and footballing talents to Italy.

Speaking at the time, Lehmann said: "For Douglas and me to be together in the same club is a dream.

"We have often played in different cities, so being able to have these great adventures in the same place is something wonderful."
