  and I would like to use it. Says that it is reserved but no one has claimed it. I would like to syndicated blog entries across different blogs with this domain. Thanks in advance :)

  That site was suspended and the likelihood the URL will be available is very low. The matching username account is here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/dailynews and username accounts are not deleted.

  Go to https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  Sites already deleted by their authors two or more years ago may become available again, if they present no username or other technical conflicts. Do you see a deleted site with an address you would like to have? You can try registering a new site with that address here. If it is available, it will be yours.

  The important part is ” if they present no username or other technical conflicts ” and this one does present a conflict.

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.

  Thanks @timethief . I can confirm this address is not available. Maybe you can get dailynews.blog or another custom domain, @dreudian . Best wishes!
