The Clarets, who were relegated from the Premier League on the final day of the season, appointed Kompany as Sean Dyche's replacement at the Lancanshire club earlier this summer.
Muric had been heavily linked with a move to Turf Moor following the departure of England international Nick Pope.
The young goalkeeper is the second shot-stopper to be sold by the Sky Blues this summer.
Following an impressive campaign with Portsmouth in League One, Ireland international Gavin Bazunu signed for Southampton in an initial £12 million deal.
Guardiola has also recruited a new goalkeeper for his squad, with Stefan Ortega signing for City from Arminia Bielefeld in the Bundesliga.
Meanwhile, Zack Steffen has joined Middlesbrough on a season-long loan.
The Championship season begins next weekend, with Kompany's Burnley travelling to Huddersfield on Friday 29th July.
