Abdel Hafiz Ghoga, from Libya's opposition the National Transitional Council (NTC), played down media reports that there had been contact between the two warring parties.
As the death toll from the Libyan uprising reached an estimated 20,000 people, the rebels are open to discussions but have made clear that Col Gaddafi can not remain in power.
Speaking to the media in Benghazi, a rebel stronghold, Ghoga said: "I'm saying that there are not any contacts between Colonel Gaddafi's regime and the NTC but Colonel Gaddafi is trying to find a proper solution and if he offers us a proposal we will positively discuss it to stop the bloodshed.
"But the most important thing is the departure of Gaddafi and his sons. It is a point that we repeated more than a time."
