Early life

He is the son of former Senegalese International Pape Sarr. Mamadou was born in Martigues while his father was playing for Istres. Sarr spent most of his childhood living in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, following his father who spent a large part of his career at Lens.[3]

Early career

Sarr began his football career at Étoile Sportive de Saint-Laurent-Blangy, before joining Lens, where his father plays.[3] He then moved to Lyon in 2018.[3]

During the 2021–22 season, at only 16 years old, he established himself as a starter with Les Gones under-19 team. He thus plays an important role in Lyon's triumph in the Coupe Gambardella alongside players like Hugo Vogel and Mohamed El Arouch. He scored in the quarter-final against Strasbourg,[4] then in the semi-final against Troyes.[5][6][7]

Club career

On 27 May 2023, Sarr made his professional debut in Lyon's 3–0 Ligue 1 victory against Reims as a substitute, replacing Maxence Caqueret in the 83rd minute.[8]

On 18 January 2024, Sarr moved on loan to RWD Molenbeek in Belgium until the end of the 2023–24 season,[9] where he played 10 games, but could not prevent them from being relegated. [10]

On 22 August 2024, Sarr joined Ligue 1 fellow Strasbourg for a transfer fee of €10M and signed a five-year contract with the team.[11]

On 9 June 2025, Sarr moved to Chelsea on an eight-year contract.[12] However, on 1 August 2025, Chelsea announced that Sarr would be loaned out to Strasbourg on a season-long loan.[13]

International career

Eligible to play with Senegal, Sarr chose France for his first selections for the youth team, even recovering the captain's armband on several occasions with the under-17s.[3] In April 2022, he was selected with the France team for the 2022 UEFA European Under-17 Championship organised in Israel.[14] He was a starter during the competition, where France was crowned as champions after defeating Netherlands 2–1 in the final thanks to Saël Kumbedi's brace.[15]
