Manchester City are set to build a statue of Kevin De Bruyne outside the Etihad Stadium to honour the star player who recently announced his departure from the club.
De Bruyne has just officially announced that he will leave Manchester City at the end of this season when his contract with the team expires, bringing an end to a 10-year playing career with the team.
Over the past 10 years, De Bruyne has made 413 appearances in all competitions for City, scoring 106 goals and providing 174 assists, helping the team win six Premier League titles, one UEFA Champions League, two FA Cups, five League Cups and two Championship Shields.
Manchester City are preparing เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย to reward and honor the Belgian national team player’s dedication and decades of service to the club by erecting a statue outside the Etihad Stadium.
Asked on Friday whether De Bruyne deserved a statue commemorating his time at the Etihad, Guardiola said: “I don’t know for sure, but I would bet a lot of money that it will happen.
“He is one of the league’s greatest midfielders. You always have to be careful with respect for other incredible players in the last 20, 30 years in this club, but come on. There is no doubt he is one of the greatest with his consistency.
Previously, several club legends including Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Vincent Kompany all had statues outside the stadium. All of whom were former team-mates of De Bruyne, who helped him win numerous trophies together.
