The 24-year-old Belgian international playmaker who has agreed a six-year deal will wear the no.17 shirt.
"I want to reach the highest level possible as a player and I think the most important thing is that at the end of the season we can be happy and maybe have some titles," De Bruyne told the City website www.mcfc.co.uk. ''I think this is the most important for the Club, the players and for the fans of course."
Bruyne is City's fourth high-profile summer arrival after Raheem Sterling, Fabian Delph and Nicolas Otamendi.
''We are very happy to have added Kevin to our team and I have no doubt that he will be a big success on his return to the Premier League,'' Manager Manuel Pellegrini said. ''It takes a special footballer to improve our squad and I have no doubt that Kevin is certainly one of those – he has all of the mental, physical, tactical and technical attributes required to fit straight in. We like to play attractive, attacking football and bringing in a player like De Bruyne will only aid us as we fight on four fronts.''
It is the second highest fee paid by a British club after Manchester United's £59.7m signing of Angel Di Maria.
