After meeting with the Riazor supremo, Zaragoza and Tottenham have made their interest while talks with Olympiacos have already taken place.

"Lendoiro has asked me to see any offers in writing for Coloccini," Lombilla said.

"Last week I had a meeting in Madrid with Lendoiro.

"Now I have to wait and see if the interest of any of the clubs is confirmed and put into writing and, if that happens, I will present them to the president.

"It will have to something concrete though. We cannot deal with suppositions, only with reality."

While Olympiacos have made an offer of around £2m, Zaragoza are prepared to go higher while Tottenham have yet to make a firm proposal.

Coloccini's first choice would be to remain in Spain after being told by new Depor coach, Miguel Ángel Lotina, that he has no choice but to sell the central defender.
