Rennes has confirmed they have completed the signing of Chris Mavinga from Liverpool on a four-year deal.
Skysports.com reported earlier on Tuesday that Mavinga was expected to undergo a medical and join Rennes this week.
And the French club has announced they have secured the services of the 20-year-old left-back.
The fee is undisclosed but it is believed Liverpool will receive in the region of €1million for Mavinga, who failed to make a first-team appearance for the Reds.
The French youngster spent the second half of last season on loan at Belgian champions Genk and is currently in Colombia, where he will be competing in the Under-20 World Cup later this month.
Mavinga returns to France after leaving the Paris St Germain youth set-up for Liverpool in 2009.
He becomes Rennes' fourth summer signing after the arrival of goalkeeper Benoit Costil, and midfielders Julien Feret and Jonathan Pitroipa.
The Brittany outfit, who finished sixth in Ligue 1 last season, have also confirmed that 28-year-old centre-back and captain Kader Mangane has agreed a one-year contract extension, tying him to the club until June 2014.
