The transfer fee paid to Metz was reported as €17 or 20 million, depending on the source.[5][6] Sarr claimed that he had chosen to sign for Rennes ahead of Barcelona, saying: "I could have gone to Spain and join the great Barcelona, but leaving Metz to join them was too early. I saw Rennes as a club that will help me progress and reach great heights".[7]

Sarr made his debut for Rennes in the team's 2017–18 season opener against Troyes on 5 August 2017 and scored his first goal against Toulouse on 26 August.[8]

His first season at the Breton club was curtailed by a malleolus fracture sustained in a match against Saint-Étienne on 24 September.[9] On 28 September, it was announced by coach Christian Gourcuff that Sarr's injury would require surgery that would prevent him from playing until 2018.[10]

Sarr ended the season with five goals and five assists from 24 Ligue 1 appearances[8] as Rennes finished in fifth place and qualified for the 2018–19 UEFA Europa League.[11]

During the 2018–19 season, Sarr made his UEFA Europa League debut, scoring the opening goal of a 2–1 against Czech club FK Jablonec on 20 September 2018.

In Ligue 1, Sarr scored eight goals and registered six assists.[13] His form saw him nominated for the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Season award.[13]

He also made a significant contribution to Rennes winning their first Coupe de France in 48 years.[17] On 6 January 2019, he scored the equalising goal in a 2–2 draw with Brest and scored in the subsequent penalty shootout that took the team through to the fourth round of the tournament.[18] On 2 April, he assisted Senegalese teammate M'Baye Niang's opening goal in an eventual 3–2 semi-final win against Lyon.[19] Rennes went on to face Paris Saint Germain at the Stade de France in the 2019 Coupe de France Final on 27 April, with Sarr scoring the winning kick of the penalty shootout after the underdogs had recovered from a 2–0 deficit to draw 2–2 during regulation time.[20]

Overall, Sarr scored 18 goals and registered 16 assists from 77 appearances for Rennes.[21]
