Depends on whether Tolmie was referring to Metropolitan areas or Urban with the 8-9 million figure. If the former then it could be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quanzhou or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qingdao#FootballThere is a team, Shenzhen FC, long established and former Champions, though now in League 1.
Nanjing sounds a good shout. Pop: 8.5m
Qingdao has 2 football teams with Qingdao Huanghai F.C. being known as "the Barcelona of China" :)

How do you purchase a club that hasn't been built ? Are we talking about a brand new franchise ?

What is absolutely wild about China is that a city of 8-9mm wouldn't even put it in the top 15 population centers in the country. There are cities of 10-15mm people that most people in the US or UK have never even heard of.
Wow, I realise Chinese people tend to be smaller but 10-15mm???

I’ve been to Chengdu
Very modern city with a Simpsonesque monorail from the airport to the town centre.
The Yangtze cruises mainly start from there
