Bayern paid Benfica £31m for Sanches after he helped Portugal win Euro 2016, earning the Golden Boy award for the tournament's best young player.
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said: "Sanches is coming back to us.
"Our new coach Niko Kovac will try to bring him back up to his previous level, and it is an exciting challenge.
"Renato had had two tough years behind him, which to my mind is bound up with him being named Golden Boy in 2016.
