However, the club surprisingly decided against offering him a new contract despite his popularity in the dressing room.
Alongside Guilavogui, the club also confirmed that Manor Solomon will return to Tottenham and Joe Rothwell will go back to Bournemouth.
Solomon scored 10 goals in 39 games and will be confident in fighting for his spot at Spurs next season.
Further departures include Harry Christy, Cian Coleman, Connor Ferguson, Max McFadden, Amari Miller, Kris Moore, Joe Richards, and Joe Snowdon.

Leeds have had an up-and-down period recently but they will view their promotion to the Premier League as a chance to now establish themselves.

That decision has further shown their intent for continuity especially after reports that he could leave.
The gap between the Premier League and the Championship seems to have widened with all three teams promoted last season relegated again.
The 2025-26 season promises to be a testing one for Leeds.
But if they can get the blend of experience and youth right then they stand a chance.
