Celtic could be in line for a cash injection of around £6million from Jeremie Frimpong's move to Liverpool.
The former Hoops right-back looks to be on the verge of a stunning transfer to the Premier League champions from Leverkusen after becoming one of the most sought after full-backs in world football.
When selling him to the Bundesliga side for an initial £11.5million, Celtic managed to negotiate a clause ensuring them 30 per cent of any future profit.
With the Reds set to trigger the Dutch international's €40million release clause this summer, the Parkhead coffers appear to be about to see the benefit of that.
It will come in handy to Rodgers who has already stated he would like to add three players to his squad and that is before any potential departures are factored in.
The manager was asked about Frimpong's impending move and the cash windfall coming in to Celtic as a result.

He said: "Well, there's no doubt that over many years, the club, from a business perspective, is an example of a player trading model.
"It's one where you bring a player in, you improve and develop, and then, of course, that player moves on. I don't think anyone can argue with that.
"If you think of the football club as a whole, how it's been run over the last 20-odd years, you look at the success that it's had, and all based around that model.
"Now, we've got a lot of intellect at our board level. There are always things that we can improve, absolutely, but from within the remits and the footprint of what we work with, and I understand that better coming back the second time, I understand the financial parameters that we have here, and I've always worked within that.
"The club have provided us with an incredible base to keep it growing and keep it developing."
