Real Salt Lake acquired forward Morgan Guilavogui from French Ligue 1 side RC Lens on Tuesday.

The 27-year-old Guinea international arrives for a reported $5 million transfer fee and will occupy designated player and international roster slots.

He has recorded 55 goals and 16 assists in 218 professional matches in his native France (Lens, Paris FC and SC Toulon) and Germany (FC St. Pauli).

'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.'

Real Salt Lake open the 2026 MLS regular season on the road against the Vancouver Whitecaps on Feb. 21.
