Victory farewell seven players and free up import spots

Nick Ansell, Alan Baro and Rashid Mahazi are amongst the players let go by coach Kevin Muscat as he looks to improve on this season's grand final loss

Melbourne Victory will have three import spots available heading into the 2017-18 A-League season after announcing the departure of seven players on Friday.

While Fahid Ben Khalfallah's impending exit had been widely reported, Victory also revealed they would not be offering Spanish centre-back Alan Baro a contract extension.

With German winger Max Beister having come and gone throughout the recently completed campaign, the Big V have just two imports contracted for next season - striker Besart Berisha and winger Marco Rojas.
