Brendan Rodgers has received another windfall from Liverpool four years after they gave him a £15million pay-off, with his former club paying him £3.75m to buy the house on Merseyside that he has been renting to Jurgen Klopp since the German replaced him at Anfield.
Klopp will continue to live in the seven-bedroom house in Formby, which Rodgers put up for sale last summer, with Liverpool planning to keep the property as an investment and to accommodate future managers.
Liverpool are believed to be allowing Klopp to live rent free in the house, although he will pay tax on its rental value as the perk is regarded by HMRC as an addition to salary as a benefit-in-kind.
Liverpool declined to comment.
