For example Man Utd get 15% from shirt sales, so they'd have to sell more than 9 million shirts to break even.

He could go to China.
Because of the pandemic and the fact that the Chinese economy was slowing down before that anyway, I don't think Chinese football clubs will be throwing money around like they have in the past.
