Written by Oluwaseun Oyediji

More Details
Recent reports from Esport3 indicate that she is being considered by Olympique Lyon for a potential transfer this summer, particularly as the arrival of Aleixandri may affect her playing time.
With her contract set to expire this summer, Engen could depart Barcelona as a free agent. Previously, during the January 2025 transfer window, she was also linked to Olympique Lyon, but the club opted to retain her, likely influenced by the departure of Keira Walsh, which opened up more opportunities for players like Engen.
Marc Vivés, the Sporting Director of Women’s Football at Barcelona, commented on Engen’s contract situation following the club’s triumph over Chelsea in the Women’s Champions League, noting that it is a testament to the quality of their players that they attract interest from various teams worldwide.

Although Engen did not feature in the starting lineup for either leg of the Women’s Champions League semi-final against Chelsea, she did start in three Liga F matches leading up to the semi-finals and in two league matches thereafter.
Head coach Pere Romeu typically positions her as a center-back, often alongside Paredes or Torrejón, though she has also demonstrated her versatility by playing in central midfield with Bonmatí and Putellas during a match against Deportivo Abanca, showcasing her skills as an exceptional defender.
