Explain your reasoning? You might not want them to be, but financially they are, just as

we were Barcelona to Leeds for a few years.

Barcelona are in a position to force a huge sale from Liverpool. Liverpool are in a position to get a very good price for that sale but certainly not to refuse it. Liverpool are in a position to buy with that money, but certainly not to buy a player at anywhere near that price. It is really no different to the relationship between us and Huddersfield at the moment.

It really is far far closer than you'd like to think.
