The latest struggles see the side on the brink of administration and, as per a statement published on their official website late this week, are in need of €2m in the coming days in order to stave off the threat of entering administration.
Oviedo, who stress that this move is necessary to keep them afloat, are offering fans the opportunity from November 3 to 17 to purchase shares in the club at a cost of €10.75 per share via wire transfer or PayPal.
Chelsea’s Juan Mata, Arsenal’s Santi Cazorla and Swansea’s Michu are all products of the club’s youth academy.
