A modified three-dimensional mean spherical model with a L-layer film geometry under Neumann-Neumann boundary conditions is considered. Two spherical fields are present in the model: a surface one fixes the mean square value of the spins at the boundaries at some $\rho > 0$, and a bulk one imposes the standard spherical constraint (the mean square value of the spins in the bulk equals one). The surface susceptibility $\chi_{1,1}$ has been evaluated exactly. For $\rho =1$ we find that $\chi_{1,1}$ is finite at the bulk critical temperature $T_c$, in contrast with the recently derived value $\gamma_{1,1}=1$ in the case of just one global spherical constraint. The result $\gamma_{1,1}=1$ is recovered only if $\rho =\rho_c= 2-(12 K_c)^{-1}$, where $K_c$ is the dimensionless critical coupling. When $\rho > \rho_c$, $\chi_{1,1}$ diverges exponentially as $T\to T_c^{+}$. An effective hamiltonian which leads to an exactly solvable model with $\gamma_{1,1}=2$, the value for the $n\to \infty $ limit of the corresponding O(n) model, is proposed too.
