Boubakary Soumaré (born 27 February 1999) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for La Liga club Sevilla on loan from EFL Championship club Leicester City. He is a former France youth international.
In his early footballing years, Soumaré was a youth player at Paris FC. He would stay at the club from 2006 to 2011, before joining the Paris Saint-Germain Academy. At PSG, he would go on to make eight appearances for the B team of the club in 2017, and left later that year.
On 7 July 2017, Soumaré signed for Lille on a three-year contract. His professional debut came in a 3–0 Ligue 1 win over Metz on 5 November 2017. At the end of the 2017–18 season, Lille managed to stay in the Ligue 1, meaning that Soumaré's contract was extended by two years, as his deal entailed such an option.
Soumaré's only goal for Lille came in a 2–2 away draw against Lyon on 5 May 2019.
On 2 July 2021, Premier League club Leicester City signed Soumaré for an undisclosed fee on a five-year contract.
