Swansea City striker Michu and Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata have both bought shares in Spanish Segunda Division outfit Real Oviedo.
Michu has been joined by two other former Oviedo stars, Chelsea's Mata and Arsenal's Santi Cazorla, as shareholders.
"We just wanted to try to help save the club we all played for," said Michu.
"Myself, Mata and Cazorla have all bought shares, but it would be wrong of me to say how much.''
