Premier League outfit, Chelsea Football Club, has completed the signing of Mamadou Sarr.
The centre-back will stay at Stamford Bridge for the next eight (8) years
Chelsea announced the transfer of Mamadou Sarr from Ligue 1 side RC Strasbourg, with the defender signing a contract until 2033.
Mamadou was a constant player for Strasbourg during the 2024/25 campaign and played an essential role in the French team securing qualification for European football next season.
19 year old Mamadou clinched twenty-eight (28) appearances across all competitions and helped the club clinch a place in next season’s UEFA Conference League play-off.
The defender first displayed his immense potential in the academy of French club, RC Lens, before moving to Olympique Lyonnais.
Having scaled through the club’s youth levels, Mamadou made his senior debut during the penultimate game of the 2022/23 season.
Born in Martigues, France, the dominant defender was given two more senior outings during the following campaign before he moved on a five-month loan spell at Belgian club RWD Molenbeek.
France Under-20 international, Mamadou, moved to Strasbourg last August and immediately established himself as a frequent starter in defence. He recorded twenty-seven (27) starts in Ligue 1 as Strasbourg claimed a seventh-place finish.
Mamadou has been capped at various youth levels after his country, France, recognised his talent. His most recent appearances coming for the Under-20 team of France.

He is the son of former Senegalese International Pape Sarr. Mamadou was born in Martigues, France on 29 August, 2025 while his father was playing for Istres. Sarr lived most of his childhood in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, following his father who spent a large part of his career at Lens.
Sarr made his professional debut in May 2023, fielding for Lyon in the club’s 3–0 Ligue 1 triumph over Reims as a substitute, replacing Maxence Caqueret in the 83rd minute.
