On 5 October 2020, Sarr signed for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich on a four-year deal.

International career
Sarr was born in France to a Senegalese father and a Guinean mother. He was called up by the Guinea national team in December 2014, but he did not play for them. In late April 2018, he was approached by the Senegal national team and turned down the offer. However, Sarr decided to represent Senegal as he was called up in late September 2021 by Aliou Cissé for the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Namibia, Togo and Congo. He debuted with Senegal in a 4–1 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Namibia on 9 October 2021. Sarr was called up for the Senegal national team to compete in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, where he played every match, eventually winning in the final against Egypt.
He was appointed a Grand Officer of the National Order of the Lion by President of Senegal Macky Sall following the nation's victory at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. In September 2022, he had a knee surgery which forced him to miss the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
