Barcelona have set Neymar a goal target to reach before they will consider a summer reunion with the winger, a report has claimed.
Neymar returned to Santos in January after agreeing to the termination of his contract with Saudi side Al Hilal, having seen injuries restrict him to just seven appearances in 18 months following his €90m move from Paris Saint-Germain.
Having inked a six-month contract with Santos, Neymar's intention is to prove he is still capable of performing at a level high enough for an elite side in Europe, and it emerged late last month that talks had been held with Barcelona over a surprise reunion at the end of the season.
According to Spanish publication SPORT, those in charge at Barcelona have challenged the 33-year-old to score at least 15 goals across the next six months to convince them he is capable of making an impact in La Liga again.
As it stands, Barcelona have not advanced their interest in Neymar beyond that, making it abundantly clear that he must prove both his fitness and his level before he can be considered a viable target for the club.
