Luiz, 26, switched the Midlands for Turin in a £50million deal and reportedly signed a contract worth around £100,000-a-week.

Lehamnn, 25, then followed suit and she supposedly earned £200,00-a-year at Villa Park.

Opening up on the huge gap in salary between men's and women's players, the glam Swiss winger told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Everyone would like to have the same salary.

"I often speak to Douglas at home about this and tell him it's not fair.

"We do the same job, but he gets paid a hundred times more than me.

"It's something that affects me because I'm a woman. Obviously, there's still a long way to go on the path we're on because there may never be equal pay.

"There will have to be a very strong will to make a change in this direction."

On unfair criticism of women's football, she added: "If someone comes to me with jokes, I always ask them 'have you ever seen a match?' Probably not, because when you see a match you realise how good and passionate we are."

Lehmann also claims she does not live a life of luxury - despite her eye-catching posts for her 17 million followers on Instagram.

She revealed: "I don't live like a star, but like everyone else.

"When people see you on social media they think you live a different life, but that's not the case.

"I live a normal life. I go home, I cook, I do the same things as everyone else.

"Of course, it's nice when people recognise you on the street."
