Career

On 14 January 2019, Sarpsborg 08 announced the signing of Coulibaly to a four-year contract.[3]

On 9 September 2020, Premier League club Sheffield United announced the signing of Coulibaly[4] and immediately sent him to Belgian First Division A side Beerschot on a three-year loan deal.[5] The loan was terminated after two seasons following Beerschot's relegation from the Belgian top tier.

Coulibaly made his debut for the senior squad of Sheffield United on 7 January 2023 in a FA Cup matchup against Millwall[6] and made his first start on 7 February 2023 in the fourth-round replay win over Wrexham.[7] 4 days later he made his league debut as a late substitute in a 3–0 EFL Championship victory over Swansea City.[8] In late March he made his international debut for Mali.[9]
