FC St. Pauli confirmed the move on Wednesday.
'The plan we pursued with Morgan before the season worked very well. He slotted in outstandingly well, both in footballing terms and as a person," said St. Pauli's director of sport, Andreas Bornemann.
"In view of the performances he put in, we would have liked to keep him here. We put that on record by exercising the purchase option, but because Lens had an option to buy him back, the final decision on Morgan's future was out of our hands.'
Guilavogui scored seven goals and provided four assists in 27 appearances for St. Pauli during the 2024/25 campaign.

Official: Abdoulaye Faye joins FC Lorient on loan
The young Senegalese defender arrives from Bayer Leverkusen to bolster the Merlus' central defense. Official: Abdoulaye Faye joins FC Lorient on loan Abdoulaye Faye has officially signed with FC Lorient this Tuesday, July 29 on a season-long loan for the 2025-2026 campaign. The young Bayer Leverkusen centre-back will compete in France's Ligue 1 with the Merlus, with no option to buy included in the deal. The Breton club confirmed this afternoon the loan acquisition of the 20-year-old Senegalese defender. Signed by Bayer Leverkusen this summer, Faye wasn't integrated into the first team of the Bundesliga runners-up, who opted to loan him out so he could gain valuable playing time in Ligue 1. It's worth noting that the 1.91m Senegalese player isn't a stranger to Lorient. Trained at the Diambars academy, Abdoulaye Faye already had a trial with Lorient's reserve team back in 2023. That experience likely paved the way for his first-team arrival this time, after stints in the Swedish league with Häcken and then Örgryte. He joins his new teammates in Dinard for preseason training camp and will wear the number 25 shirt. 'FC Lorient is a renowned club in the French league that has seen many top players come through. This loan with the Merlus is a real opportunity for me to continue progressing in a top-five European league and within a quality squad. Being able to participate in the preseason camp with my new teammates is a great chance—it will help me integrate more quickly,' Faye said during his unveiling.
