Espanyol president Joan Collet revealed the Ligue I side bid to the Spanish press recently.
AS, a daily sports newspaper in Spain report that that meeting was with Bayram Tutumlu, an agent based in Luxembourg, and Olympique Marseilles president, Vincent Labrune. They presented an informal bid of £4.81 million (€6m) deemed to low by Collet.
