On 8 May 2014, German club VfL Wolfsburg announced they had signed a two-year contract with Hansen. Norwegian media stated her annual salary as around £100,000. Near the end of her first season at Wolfsburg, Hansen was diagnosed with jumpers knee. This injury ended up destroying most of the tendon in her knee, leading to years worth of injury troubles. The injury kept her out of the remainder of Wolfsburg's 2014-15 Champions League competition and the 2015 Algarve Cup with Norway, as well as that year's Women's World Cup with her country. Hansen sustained another injury, a kneecap fracture, near the end of the 2015-16 season. The following month, Wolfsburg reached the 2016 UEFA Women's Champions League Final, where Hansen sat out with the injury as her club was defeated 4-3 on penalties to Lyon after a 1-1 draw in regular time.
