Barcelona remain determined to secure Victor Valdes to a new contract .

The goalkeeper's current deal expires in 2010 and talks have stalled since the player's representatives made their demands of £5 million-a-year last month.

Barca want to hang onto Valdes after conceding there is not another keeper available who matches his experience and quality.

For his part, Valdes' minders have denied reports that he is demanding wages similar to what Iker Casillas enjoys at Real Madrid.
