The Brazilian has been in superb form in 2015 and ran the show on Sunday as the Reds moved up to fifth in the Premier League with a 2-1 victory against the defending champions.
His thunderous second-half finish confirmed the home side's dominance at Anfield, leading Rodgers to suggest his market value has increased significantly in recent months.
"Coutinho is a joy to watch," the Reds boss told reporters of the 22-year-old. "He's a kid who has so much ahead of him in the game. He's a sensational footballer.
"He is very selfless and very humble, always creates for others. He has wonderful body movement around the edge of the box.
"He's a star in the Premier League but there are improvements he can make. He's a young player, playing at club that adores him.
"We bought him in for €11.7 million [in January 2013] ... it's frightening to think what he'd be worth now."
Rodgers was delighted with the game as a whole, declaring: "It was a brilliant result and a brilliant performance. The players were relentless."
