Her decision to leave comes after the expiration of her contract at the end of the 2025/26 season. During her tenure, Putellas secured multiple titles including Champions League trophies and an extended period of dominance in the Spanish league. She played a pivotal tactical role as the team's main creator and leader on the pitch.

London City Lionesses, competing in the English Women's Championship, lead the race to sign Putellas according to ESPN. This potential transfer stands out as one of the most significant in women's football in the coming years.

With Putellas departing, Barcelona Femení’s coaching staff faces the challenge of restructuring the attacking line and identifying a player able to take over the creative responsibility and leadership role.

Putellas stated in an interview: "I am grateful to Barcelona for everything it has given me, and I am ready for new challenges." The departure of one of Barça’s flagship players marks a new chapter for both the player and the club.
