'We're delighted to welcome Morgan to Real Salt Lake and Major League Soccer,' said RSL chief soccer officer Kurt Schmid. 'His versatility across multiple attacking positions, combined with his experience in top European leagues, makes him an ideal addition to our attacking framework.

'Morgan's time competing at the highest levels in France and Germany, along with his international pedigree, has prepared him exceptionally well for this next chapter of his career. We're confident his quality and intelligence will be instrumental in generating scoring opportunities as we continue to build a dynamic, multifaceted attack.'Internationally, Guilavogui has recorded two goals in 21 appearances for Guinea, participating in two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.

'I'm very excited to begin. Coming from Europe, the MLS product is spectacular, and I'm looking forward to participating in the show,' Guilavogui said. 'To the fans, I'm excited to see you at America First Field and win a lot of games.'
