Morey was promoted to the B-team for the 2018–19 campaign, but suffered a serious knee injury in August 2018 which kept him sidelined until the following March. After rejecting a contract renewal from the Catalans, he was separated from the squad, and subsequently also suffered another knee injury which kept him out for nearly two months. After initially playing for the reserves in the Regionalliga West, he made his professional debut on 31 May 2020, coming on as a late substitute for Achraf Hakimi in a 6–1 away routing of SC Paderborn 07.

Morey made his UEFA Champions League debut on 4 November 2020, replacing Thomas Meunier in a 3–0 away success over Club Brugge KV.

On 1 May 2021, Morey suffered a serious injury to his knee after landing awkwardly following a tackle in a DFB Pokal match against Holstein Kiel. He missed the remainder of the 2020–21 season as well as the 2021–22 season.

On 9 February 2024, Morey came on as a substitute in the 88th minute in a 3–0 win over SC Freiburg, marking his first appearance in 1,015 days for the club. Later that year, on 4 May, he made his first Bundesliga start following his long-term injury in a 5–1 victory over FC Augsburg. On 18 May, Borussia Dortmund announced that Morey would leave the club upon the conclusion of the 2023–24 season.

Mallorca On 5 July 2024, Morey signed with Mallorca for one season, with two more optional seasons. He scored his first professional goal on 23 August 2025, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 home draw against Celta Vigo, but was mainly a backup to Pablo Maffeo as the club suffered relegation in 2026.
