Celtic received in the region of £25m for Kieran Tierney and Jota in recent years but O'Riley's proposed move to Brighton will eclipse those fees.

And Parkhead chiefs are thought to have negotiated a 10 per cent sell on fee as part of the transfer deal.

Quizzed on O'Riley transfer interest from Brighton, Brendan Rodgers said: "Matt trained this morning as he always does.

"He is the consummate professional and has been brilliant.

"There have been a number of offers gone in for Matt but there is nothing new to report or add to that either."

On whether there comes a time when transfer offers will be too late to be considered, Rodgers added: "Yes. For any player, it is not going to go right down to the wire. We have got a big week next week after our game at the weekend.

"We will be preparing for our last game in this block of games. I wouldn't want that to be interrupted at all. We are pretty clear on where we are and what it is we need to do."
