The 34-year-old midfielder, whose present deal expires in the summer, is free to agree pre-contract terms with a foreign club in January.
"We haven't been talking about a new contract in the last couple of weeks," Lampard said after scoring both Chelsea goals in Sunday's 2-1 win over Everton.
"At the moment nothing has been said and my contract is up in the summer."

Benitez tight-lipped on  Benitez keeps mute!
Lampard's double in the Blues' win at Goodison Park means he is just one short of second-placed Kerry Dixon's 193 strikes in the club's all-time goal-scoring standings, with Bobby Tambling's club record of 202 goals 10 away.
Assured of a place in the Chelsea history books, Lampard has done his best over recent games to prove that he has a part to play in their future as well, scoring on each of his last three Premier League starts. 
He insists that he is happy as part of a team that have won their last four games in the Premier League under the guidance of interim manager Rafael Benitez.
"I'm enjoying playing, I'm working hard in training, I'm loving being part of the team," he added.
"That is all I can tell you for the minute and that is enough for me I am happy with that - to keep playing well and to contribute to days like today."
"My job is to keep Lampard fit. He is a good player. He is under contract, fully committed and working hard and that is the way. We cannot say too much about this," Benitez said.
Benitez, who took charge in late November after the dismissal of Roberto Di Matteo, could offer no reassurance that a new deal would be forthcoming for Lampard.
The Spaniard, who said in November that he thought both Lampard and left-back Ashley Cole would depart at the end of the season,indicated that he would not have the final decision over which players join or leave his squad in January.
"My job is to win games, coach the players properly, and keep my opinion if I have to give my opinion," he added. "The key part is to improve the players on the pitch."

Nigerians Are Good People Indeed

The dispatch with which ordinary Nigerians rescued the motorist whose vehicle plunged into the Lagos lagoon from the Third Mainland Bridge on Saturday, January 26, 2013 proved once more that Nigerians are great people. Unlike most stories from Nigeria that usually end on a sad and demoralising note, this story ended on a happy note like a Nollywood film. It was nothing short of a miracle. The sole occupant of that vehicle was brought out of the lagoon alive. But he was not rescued by the Nigerian Navy or the Nigeria Police Force; neither was he rescued by the National Emergency Management Agency or Lagos State Emergency Management Agency or any agency of Lagos State. Mr Shola Oladimeji was rescued by fishermen.  These were not fishermen that used modern boats with special gadgets or equipment. These were men with old-fashioned canoes with paddles. They saw a car plunge into the water and went swiftly and got the occupant of the vehicle out, alive.  Before the government a
