Soumaïla Coulibaly (born 14 October 2003) is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for club Brest, on loan from Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.[1]
Coulibaly is a product of the Paris Saint-Germain Academy. However, he never signed a professional contract with Paris Saint-Germain because he rejected the chance to do so, instead preferring to sign for Borussia Dortmund in Germany.[2] In an interview with Le Parisien in March 2021, Coulibaly explained his decision to leave Paris, stating that "there is not much space for [young players at PSG]" and that the "quality of the PSG squad, which signs lots of great players, makes it very difficult for youngsters to succeed". He joined Dortmund upon the expiration of his contract on 1 July 2021.[3]
Coulibaly made his first appearance in a UEFA Champions League match on 2 November 2022 against Copenhagen, and in the Bundesliga against VfB Stuttgart on 15 April 2023.
On 11 August 2023, Coulibaly joined Royal Antwerp in Belgium on a season-long loan with an option to buy.[4]
On 29 August 2024, Coulibaly moved on a new loan to Brest.[5]
Coulibaly has been capped by France at under-16 and under-17 level.
Born in France, Coulibaly is of Malian descent.[6]
