Juventus defender Daniele Rugani has arrived in France to undergo his medical with Stade Rennais.
The centre-back is making the move on loan without an option to buy at the end of the season.
He had been linked with several clubs, including Valencia, Sevilla, West Ham, Newcastle United and Leeds United.
However, the 26-year-old opted for Rennes, who are in the Champions League for the first time this season.
It’s reported to be a paid loan at a cost of €1.5m with Rennes covering Rugani’s full salary for the campaign.
