Spanish rescue ship Open Arms said in a statement earlier the two countries appeared to have struck a deal for the Majorca disembarking, which would add another three days to what has been a trying situation.
"The government denies the existence of any alleged deal with Italy, it said in a statement."
"The only correct information is that the Spanish government had offered to Open Arms to head for the nearest Spanish port and that the Italian government is infringing the law by preventing the migrants from disembarking in Lampedusa."
For more than two weeks, the migrants have been left floating off the Italian coast, caught between a tug of war between Italy's far-right interior minister Matteo Salvini's tough line on immigration and the EU´s initial reluctance to find a solution.
Open Arms said that a few migrants had jumped off the boat. It posted a video on Twitter of what it said were migrants from the boat trying to swim to shore before being caught by rescuers who jumped in after them.
Open Arms said yesterday that "If an agreement has indeed been reached, it's essential for Italy and Spain to take responsibility for ensuring, by providing the necessary means, that these people finally disembark at a safe harbour," the organisation said in a statement.
When contacted by Reuters today, a senior official with the Spanish government declined to comment.

Maybe this has something to do with itSegún el Art. 82 de la constitución española "El gobierno en funciones debe limitarse al despacho diario de los asuntos públicos y no debe adoptar, por tanto, ninguna medida que comprometa o condicione al futuro gobierno de la nación y tal como se expresa en el artículo 21 de la Ley del Gobierno” Por tanto ¿Quién o quienes van a impulsar una denuncia por prevaricación contra este presidente en funciones por incumplir la CE y la Ley del gobierno?
