The 20-year-old has agreed a five-year contract after leaving Schalke.
City manager Pep Guardiola said: "He is a special talent and an exciting player that I think our supporters will enjoy watching."
Sane, who was part of the Germany squad that reached the semi-finals of Euro 2016, scored eight goals in 33 Bundesliga appearances last season as Schalke finished fifth, failing to qualify for the Champions League for the second season in succession.
"He has great technical ability, is comfortable on the ball and there is much to admire about the way he plays football.
"He is fast, enjoys creating chances for others, works hard for the team and scores goals.
"At twenty, he is still developing as a player but he is already a member of the German national side and I think he will be a fantastic asset."
