Manchester City announced on its official window on the 21st (Korea Standard Time) that it will produce a special statue symbolizing De Bruyne's brilliant career to commemorate his dedication.
The news was officially announced shortly after the end of the match against Bournemouth, the last home game of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season. This was the last game that De Bruyne played at Manchester City's home stadium.
Dubrowner has played more than 400 games in a decade for Manchester City, lifting 19 major trophies and is set to leave the team this summer.
Manchester City fans filled the stadium on the day thanked one of the club's greatest players in history during the game.
Derbroughner showed pride in his statue making.
"This means that I will remain part of this club forever," Dubrowner said. "It's really special that I can see myself whenever I come back with my family and friends. I'll always be here.'

The statue is the highest honor only for players who have made symbolic contributions to Manchester City. In other words, De Bruyne is now completely joining the legendary ranks.
Players with statues in Manchester City include Bang Sang Kompany, David Silva and Sergio Aguero.
There is also a growing interest in Derbroughner's next journey.
Italy's Serie A's prestigious Napoli is the most active in recruiting him.
Recently, the British Daily Mail reported that Napoli plans to offer De Bruyne a two-year contract worth 6 million euros (about 10 billion won) per year.
The annual salary of 20 million pounds (about 37 billion won) currently being paid by Manchester City is not enough. However, the contract includes a one-year extension option, which has the advantage of being able to play in the big league for three years.
Napoli may be an attractive option as they are also challenging the UEFA Champions League next season.
In addition, De Bruyne has also been linked to Liverpool in the Premier League like Manchester City.
