Boubakary is the only child and this made him engage himself in football activities that would clear his loneliness. On finding what makes him happy, his parents decided to allow their son to follow his destiny.

As a child footballer, he was more talented than the rest who played alongside him on local pitches in his neighborhood

At seven years, he was enrolled in a nearby club to have trials with Paris FC, where he soon secured a successful trial laying a better foundation for his young career.

While playing for his U13 at Paris FC, news of his skills and talent began spreading across France. At that time, his parents approved him joining PSG where he had a successful trial.

He began his U14 youth level at PSG under coach Sebastien Thierry who saw him as an extremely determined player-a warrior in the field.

Playing with Paris Saint-Germain B meant that he was under the shadows of the PSG senior team, a development that looked like a passing fantasy. Sadly, he found himself at the PSG top midfielders.

Soumare turned down the offer of signing with PSG, giving other junior clubs the opportunity of begging for his signature, and Lille OSC seized the opportunity.

He is not a social media fan and he is discrete about it. He is currently single and seems to have given his career all the attention at this moment.

Senegal’s population practices the Islamic religion and this could be his case.

Career

Soumare began his football journey at Paris FC  and then joined Paris Saint-Germain where he was selected for the B team of the club, leaving later that year.

After leaving PSG, he was signed by club Lille on a three-year contract. His professional debut for the club was in a match over Metz Lille becoming winners. His performance at the club was impressive and they extended his contract by two years.

His only goal for Lille was in a match against Lyon.
