Barcelona's new contract talks with midfielder Sergio Busquets have stalled.

Sport says there has been NO dialogue between Barca sports chief Txiki Begiristain and Busquets' agent, Jose Maria Orobitg.

The young midfielder has been a revelation this season and is inside the final 12 months of his existing deal.

Busquets' camp is surprised by Barca's dithering, however Begiristain is calm over the situation and confident of reaching an agreement soon.
