The 19-year-old had attended the NRG music festival on the island with two friends before his disappearance.
Now Lancashire Constabulary has offered to support Guardia Civil in their efforts to find the teenager.
A statement read: “First and foremost, our thoughts are with Jay’s family at this time.
“They must be going through the most distressing ordeal not knowing what has happened to their loved one.
“We have specialist officers who are continuing to support Jay’s family.
“Whilst this case falls outside the jurisdiction of UK policing, we have made an offer of support to the Guardia Civil to see if they need any additional resources.
“They have confirmed that at this time they are satisfied that they have the resources they need, but that offer remains open and they will contact us should that position change.
“Once again, our thoughts remain with Jay’s family and friends at this distressing time.”
