Negotiators are meeting in Brussels this weekend ahead of a Sunday deadline called by the European Parliament.
Boris Johnson and Ursula von der Leyen agreed to continue negotiating amid an impending December 31 Brexit deadline.
The UK Prime Minister will have dinner with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in a final push for a post-Brexit deal, barely three weeks before an economic rupture beckons at the end of the year.
Ursula von der Leyen, who gave a statement after a phone call with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, said that "progress has been achieved in many areas" but that "significant differences remain".
The UK Prime Minister and European Commission President said in a joint statement that there would be no extension of the post-Brexit transition period.
