On 11 December 2025, Sangaré was called up to the Mali squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Sangaré is described as a versatile box-to-box midfielder known for his ball-winning ability, technical quality, and intelligence in possession. He combines defensive work rate with his ability to progress the ball through carrying and passing, while his versatility allows him to operate as both a deeper midfielder and a more advanced number eight. A player who is often characterized as energetic all-rounder, Sangaré ranked among Ligue 1's best midfielders for tackles won, ground duels and interceptions, while also contributing with his dribbling, passing and attacking output. Speaking after his transfer to the Premier League, his former coach Adama Diarra said Brentford's emphasis on developing young players made the club a perfect fit for the Malian midfielder and backed him to adapt successfully to English football.
