Jan 4 (Reuters) - Barcelona's Dani Olmo and Pau Victor will be unable to play for the LaLiga side in the second half of the season, Spanish football authorities said on Saturday, rejecting the club's latest attempt to extend their registration.

Midfielder Olmo, 26, who helped Spain to European Championship glory last year, has been an integral part of Barcelona's team this season, while forward Victor, 23, has been largely restricted to substitute appearances.

Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah said in an interview on Friday that he’s playing in his final year at Anfield. The 32-year-old’s contract with the club ends at the end of the 2024-25 season and talks over a new contract have stalled in the past half year.

During an interview with Sky Sports, he doubled-down on the idea that this will be his final year with the club and that his goal is to win the Premier League in his last season.

The New England Revolution said farewell to Esmir Bajraktarevic and signed fellow forward Luis Diaz on Thursday.

The Revs transferred Bajraktarevic, 19, to Dutch side PSV Eindhoven for an undisclosed fee after three MLS seasons. New England retained a percentage of the homegrown player's future sell-on rights.

Bajraktarevic appeared in 45 matches (28 starts) from 2022-24, contributing three goals and three assists.

The Houston Dash acquired two-time NWSL champion forward Yazmeen Ryan from NJ/NY Gotham FC on Friday.

Nov 25 (Reuters) - Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah says he is "more out than in" at the Premier League leaders with still no offer of a new contract on the table.

The Egypt striker, whose deal expires at the end of the season, scored twice as Liverpool came back to beat Southampton 3-2 away on Sunday to open up an eight-point gap at the top of the standings.

Miami is the new Barcelona.
