Need to sell millions of shirts? This is why big clubs go to Asia in some preseasons, boost popularity to make $$$. China alone has 1 billion people, let alone including all of Asia. Include other countries, it's very possible for there to be millions of shirt sales for a single player if he's popular enough. ESPN reported years ago that Beckham made 300m pounds for RM in 4 years, don't know if anyone tried to debunk that, but ESPN don't really report rubbish, they are pretty reliable.
ESPN aren't that reliable IMO ,and it is possible they count the amount of money that selling shirts sold for not RM share
and they are selling a lot ,but not enough ,clubs makes around 10-20 Euros from each shirt ,they don't sell millions of shirt yearly ,may be 1 or 1.5M but that it
those players contributes in many ways to get money to the club ,stars are what gets you friendlies ,sponsorship etc but selling shirts can't get you 100M in 1 year ,that is a fantasy dude
