Centre-back Daland in talks to leave Cardiff
The Bluebirds paid around £3.5m to sign the Norwegian from Cercle Brugge last year.
But following Cardiff's relegation to League One, Daland has only made one substitute appearance.
The 25-year-old was left out of the squad for Tuesday's EFL Cup win over Swindon Town because of his transfer discussions with other clubs.
Barry-Murphy did not know whether Daland will be leaving on a permanent or loan basis, but said: "Jesper's in conversations with other clubs, so he's not available."
Asked if a deal was close to being completed, he said: "I don't know. I don't know how close."
Cardiff have only signed one player this summer, goalkeeper Nathan Trott on loan from Copenhagen, while 11 have left since their relegation from the Championship.

Premier League chief calls for patience as Man City legal case drags on
LONDON (AP) — The Premier League's top official called for patience Wednesday while the seismic legal case involving Manchester City drags on into another season. City was charged by the league in February 2023 with more than 100 financial breaches, including providing misleading information about its sources of income. The case was heard by an independent commission between September and December last year but no verdict has been reached. Punishment could be as extreme as expulsion from the top flight. City has always denied the charges. The issue hangs over the start of another Premier League campaign, with the 2025-26 season starting Friday. But Richard Masters, the competition's chief executive, reiterated the league has no control or say over the timings. Asked in an interview with British broadcaster Sky Sports News why the league could not hurry the process along, Masters said: 'I can't answer that specific question. All I can tell you about is the system and how it works. 'I mean, it's an independent judiciary, essentially. So once the allegations, the charge, has been put forward, they go before an independent panel, which is independently selected, and they are then in charge of the process and its timings. They hear the case, they decide the outcome, and we have no influence over that, over it or its timing. That's right from an independence point of view." Masters said 'my frustration is irrelevant.' 'I just have to wait,' he said, "and legal processes rarely take less time than you anticipated, but we have to be patient.' Taking the Premier League abroad The Spanish league has recently approved a request for a match, between Villarreal and Barcelona, to be played in the United States in December and Masters was asked whether the Premier League had any similar desire to take a game abroad. Masters said the need has lessened. 'We did look at the '39th game' way back when, with lots of controversy. I recall that very clearly," Masters said of a controversial proposal made back in 2008 of having an extra round of matches played overseas. 'Our objective at the time, when thinking about it, was to help grow the Premier League around the world. 'And we've been able to do that through different means, through brilliant broadcast partnerships, through digital technology, investing in other areas, like the Summer Series tournament we've just had in the U.S., and now the Premier League is a genuinely global league. There are billions of people who will be tuning in over the course of the next next nine months to watch Premier League action. So we've achieved that objective by different means, that necessity has dissipated.' ___ AP soccer:

New role for Greg Abbott after Carlisle United departure
Greg Abbott has landed a new role in football after his departure from Carlisle United. The former Blues manager and head of recruitment has joined League Two club Harrogate Town. Abbott has joined the Yorkshire club's emerging talent and centre of excellence coaching team. The Sulphurites say Abbott will work closely with director of youth football Josh Falkingham, head of emerging talent centre Ryan Smith and the rest of their newly-formed coaching team. They will be charged with "driving the club's new player pathway strategy and develop players for the future." The move sees Abbott reunited with his former captain at Carlisle, Paul Thirlwell, who is Harrogate's assistant manager. It also sees the 61-year-old quickly back in the game after leaving his role as United's head of recruitment in May.

Abbott said the Harrogate opportunity came after a conversation with Thirlwell - adding that it was a refreshing new challenge after a "tough" latter period at Brunton Park. Speaking to Harrogate's official channels, he said: "I know Paul really well from my time at senior level. "He was laughing about me coaching under-13s, under-14s, saying 'you won't want to do that - you won't want to go back'," Abbott said. "[But] it really appeals to me. "The last couple of years have been tough. [Now it's] something a bit less stressful, a bit more enjoyable, and I enjoy seeing young players improve and develop. "I'm looking forward to it." Abbott, describing his return to Carlisle in his latter role, added: "It wasn't a great spell, it was hard work, but it is what it is - you have your ups and downs at football clubs. "I'm now at an age when I just want a little bit less pain and stress, enjoy my weekends a bit more." The former United boss also said his new role fits well with his family life as a grandfather.
