The newspaper “Sport” revealed that Barcelona officials informed Neymar of a strange initial condition so that they can think about signing him next summer.
Neymar returned to Santos again with a contract for only 6 months, and his biggest dream, according to all sources, remains to return to Barcelona again before the 2026 World Cup.
There is a sharp division within Barcelona over the idea of bringing Neymar back, and it seems that President Joan Laporta does not object to the idea, while coach Hansi Flick does not want to discuss it at all.
According to “Sport”, Barcelona officials told Neymar that he must score 15 goals with Santos, and then they will discuss the possibility of signing him or not.
So far, Neymar has scored 3 goals and made 3 assists in 7 matches he played with Santos, all in the Paulista Championship of the state of Sao Paulo.
Perhaps Laporta’s administration wants to first ensure that Neymar has regained his level, both technically and physically, and then it can present the matter to Hansi Flick and convince him in one way or another.
It is worth noting that if Neymar returns to Barcelona, he will first need to make a great economic sacrifice, so that he receives the lowest possible salary in line with the difficult economic situation at Camp Nou.
