Born in Bamako, Makalou was a member of the Malian section of the JMG Academy.[2]
Makalou took part in the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup with the Mali under-17s. As a starter throughout the tournament, he played an important role to help his team finish in the third place, scoring two goals and assisted one. His performances gained him the tournament's Silver Ball award.[3][4]
Makalou operates mainly as a box-to-box midfielder. His strong mobility and stamina gave him a good ball-winning ability in wide areas of the pitch. He also owes a good vision of the game, possessing the quality to distribute precise and elaborate passes and playmaking from inside his own half. His play style resembles N'Golo Kanté.[5][6]
