Celtic have been very smart with their transfer exits in recent times, including sell-on clauses as part of the deals. That saw them land a significant figure when Jeremie Frimpong recently moved to Liverpool. Bayer Leverkusen had signed him for a fee in the region of £11 million but headed to Anfield for £34 million. Quite the windfall for Brendan Rodgers' side.
And it is very possible that Celtic will benefit more than once this summer. Former players like Matt O'Riley, Mikey Johnston, Alexandro Bernabei and Oh Hyeon-gyu have all been linked with moves away, and would imagine that the Hoops have similar sell-on clauses for them as well.
On the other hand, Gustaf Lagerbielke left Celtic recently to join SC Braga. The Hoops have made sure to include a sell-on clause this time as well.
As reported by SC Braga News, Celtic retain 10% of future transfer profits. Lagerbielke will have a €50m release clause.

Lagerbielke never looked like the right signing for Celtic. His strengths did not match with what Rodgers was looking for in his style of football.
As a result, he did not feature much in his debut season for the Hoops. Despite that, he had a few highlights worth remembering, including a Champions League winner.
He would spend the previous season out on loan at FC Twente. While the Swedish centre-back did well, he was impressive enough to convince the Dutch club to sign him on a permanent basis this summer.
Let's see how things go for him in Portugal. SC Braga might be a much better fit for him than Celtic ever was. We can only wish him well as he takes the next step in his career. On the other hand, the Hoops need to bring in a centre-back themselves.
