Swiss soccer star Alisha Lehmann has reportedly caught the eye of Sky presenter Ricardo Basile. The duo reportedly hit it off during a joint film shoot, with onlookers suggesting there were plenty of sparks flying between them. Basile and Lehmann spent almost 30 minutes chatting in her penthouse apartment in Birmingham, during which time they made flirty comments and jokes. Ever since then, rumors have been swirling on social media that they are now romantically linked. Reporting on the supposed romance, “Bild” has suggested that Basile is “very happy at the moment.”
It is not uncommon for footballers to strike up private relationships with journalists that they meet during their professional careers. For example, Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann is reportedly dating “Bild” journalist Lena Wurzenberger, while former Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas fell in love with TV journalist Sara Carbonero.
Lehmann, who is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful footballers in the world, plays for Aston Villa in the Premier League. The Swiss star is known for her speed and skill on the pitch, and has a large following on social media.
Despite the rumors, it’s worth noting that some of the supposed clues that hint at a romance may have been misinterpreted. Basile posted an intimate message on Instagram following their shoot together, leading many fans to speculate that he was flirting with Lehmann. However, it later turned out that the Swiss star had actually written the post herself. That said, the fact that Basile is already looking forward to visiting Lehmann in Munich has done little to dampen speculation that they may be an item.
Overall, it remains unclear whether Basile and Lehmann are officially dating, and both parties have remained tight-lipped on the matter. Nonetheless, their rumored romance is sure to generate plenty of interest among football fans and tabloid readers alike.
