An academy graduate of [Nice](/source/OGC_Nice), Sarr scored on his senior debut in 2016 and made over 100 appearances for the club. He joined [Premier League](/source/Premier_League) club [Chelsea](/source/Chelsea_F.C.) in 2020, where he had two season-long loan moves to [Porto](/source/FC_Porto) in [Primeira Liga](/source/Primeira_Liga) and back in France to [Monaco](/source/AS_Monaco_FC), before his contract with the English club was terminated in 2024.

Internationally, Sarr has represented France at every youth level from [under-16](/source/France_national_under-16_football_team) to [under-21](/source/France_national_under-21_football_team).

## Club career

### Nice

Born in [Nice](/source/Nice), Alpes-Maritimes,[3] Sarr joined local side [OGC Nice](/source/OGC_Nice) at the age of six.[4] He spent the next 12 years in the club's academy before making his [Ligue 1](/source/Ligue_1) debut for the club on 14 August 2016 against [Rennes](/source/Stade_Rennais_FC), aged 17. He scored the winning goal for his team in the 60th minute, heading home from a [Jean Michaël Seri](/source/Jean_Micha%C3%ABl_Seri) [free-kick](/source/Direct_free_kick).[5] In doing so, he became the second youngest player to ever score on debut in Ligue 1, behind [Nigerian](/source/Nigeria_national_football_team) international [Bartholomew Ogbeche](/source/Bartholomew_Ogbeche).[6] After the match, Sarr dedicated his goal to the victims of the [2016 Nice terror attack](/source/2016_Nice_truck_attack).[5] Prior to kick-off a minute's silence was observed in memory of the victims with both Nice and Rennes wearing unique commemorative shirts bearing the names of those who had died.[7] On 7 November 2016, Sarr signed his first professional contract with Nice and by the end of the season had made over 30 appearances as the club ended the league campaign in third place.[8][9][10]

In February 2018, Sarr was named by the [CIES Football Observatory](/source/International_Centre_for_Sports_Studies) as the world's fifth-most promising footballer under the age of 20.[11] Competing with [Maxime Le Marchand](/source/Maxime_Le_Marchand) and new [loan](/source/Loan_(sports)) signing [Marlon](/source/Marlon_(footballer%2C_born_September_1995)), Sarr saw his game time slightly reduced but still managed to record 29 appearances across all competitions for the campaign.[12]

On 10 August 2019, the opening day of the [2019–20 Ligue 1](/source/2019%E2%80%9320_Ligue_1) campaign, Sarr made his 100th appearance for Nice across all competitions when he started in a 2–1 win over [Amiens](/source/Amiens_SC).[13] His contract expired on 30 June 2020 and subsequently became a [free agent](/source/Free_agent).

### Chelsea

On 27 August 2020, [Chelsea](/source/Chelsea_F.C.) announced the signing of Sarr on a five-year deal.[14]

#### 2020–21 season: Loan to Porto

On 6 October 2020, Sarr joined the Portuguese side [Porto](/source/FC_Porto) on loan for the rest of the [2020–21 season](/source/2020%E2%80%9321_FC_Porto_season).[15] On 21 October 2020, Sarr made his Porto debut during their [UEFA Champions League](/source/UEFA_Champions_League) group stage tie with [Manchester City](/source/Manchester_City_F.C.), featuring for 80 minutes before being replaced by [Evanilson](/source/Evanilson_(footballer%2C_born_1999)) in the 3–1 away defeat.[16][17] Sarr went onto score his only goal for the club in a [Taça da Liga](/source/Ta%C3%A7a_da_Liga) tie against [Paços de Ferreira](/source/F.C._Pa%C3%A7os_de_Ferreira) in December 2020, netting the opener in their 2–1 victory.[18] Sarr went onto feature 19 times in all competitions for the Dragões before returning to Chelsea ahead of the [2021–22](/source/2021%E2%80%9322_Chelsea_F.C._season) campaign.

#### 2021–22 season: Return from loan

Following proposed loan moves to [Germany](/source/Germany), [Italy](/source/Italy) and [France](/source/France) reportedly collapsing,[19] Sarr opted to stay at Chelsea and was subsequently given the number 31 jersey for the forthcoming 2021–22 campaign. On 22 September 2021, Sarr made his Chelsea debut during a 1–1 draw in the [EFL Cup](/source/EFL_Cup) against [Aston Villa](/source/Aston_Villa_F.C.), featuring for the full 90 minutes as the Blues progressed to the fourth round following a 4–3 penalty shootout victory.[20] A month later, he made his [Premier League](/source/Premier_League) debut against newly promoted [Brentford](/source/Brentford_F.C.) due to the unavailability of [Antonio Rüdiger](/source/Antonio_R%C3%BCdiger) and [Thiago Silva](/source/Thiago_Silva), playing the full 90 minutes and keeping a clean sheet during the 1–0 victory.[21]

In January 2022, he started at left-back against [Tottenham](/source/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C.) in the [EFL Cup](/source/2021%E2%80%9322_EFL_Cup) semi-final. It was the start of an extended run in the first-team for Sarr.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

On 12 February 2022, Sarr was an extra-time substitute as Chelsea won the [2021 FIFA Club World Cup](/source/2021_FIFA_Club_World_Cup) title, beating [Palmeiras](/source/Palmeiras).[22] He was also a substitute in the semi-final game against [Al-Hilal](/source/Al_Hilal_SFC).[23]

#### 2022–2024: Loan to Monaco and exclusion from the first team

On 10 August 2022, Sarr joined [Monaco](/source/AS_Monaco_FC) on a season-long loan deal, with an option to buy.[24]

At the beginning of the [2023–24 season](/source/2023%E2%80%9324_Chelsea_F.C._season), new coach [Mauricio Pochettino](/source/Mauricio_Pochettino) appeared unable to recognize Sarr as one of his players during a press conference, following his return from loan.[25] However, Sarr later revealed that Pochettino had actually been aware of him and had even attempted to sign him during his tenure as Tottenham manager.[26]

In February 2024, [Le Havre](/source/Le_Havre_AC) sporting director [Mathieu Bodmer](/source/Mathieu_Bodmer) criticized Chelsea for the collapse of a proposed loan deal that would have covered the remaining 18 months of his contract.[27] Consequently, Sarr did not feature in any matches throughout the season and had to train with the [under-21 team](/source/Chelsea_F.C._Development_Squad_and_Academy).[28][29]

On 24 July 2024, Sarr's contract with Chelsea was terminated one year before its expiry after a mutual agreement with the club.[30]

### Lens

On 26 July 2024, [Lens](/source/RC_Lens) announced the signing of Sarr on a two-season contract, with the option to extend for a further season.[31]

## International career

Sarr has represented [France](/source/France_national_football_team) at various youth levels and in September 2016, he was named [captain](/source/Captain_(association_football)) of the 20-man [France under-18](/source/France_national_under-18_football_team) squad by manager [Bernard Diomède](/source/Bernard_Diom%C3%A8de) for the 2016 Limoges Tournament.[32][33] In 2018, he confirmed that he had been approached by the [Senegalese Football Federation](/source/Senegalese_Football_Federation) to represent the nation but stated that he still had hopes to play for France.[34] Ahead of the [2026 FIFA World Cup](/source/2026_FIFA_World_Cup), Sarr announced his availability for [Senegal](/source/Senegal_national_football_team); however, he was not selected for the team's squad for the tournament.[35][36]

## Personal life

Sarr was born in the neighbourhood of les Moulins in Nice. He is of Senegalese descent through his parents who immigrated to France prior to his birth.[37]
