The teenage winger is highly regarded by the Barclays Premier League club and signed a new five-year contract at the Etihad Stadium this summer.
Millers manager Neil Redfearn sees the signing as a coup for his side.
He said: "He is an exciting young player. He represents a ball carrier who will go past players and make things happen.
"He is a goalscorer who is quite young in years but has had quite a lot of experience around the first team at Manchester City.
"They think that he is going to develop into a top player so for us to get him is a massive plus.
"It is a great deal for us, he is what we need. He has the ability to open sides up and he can create goalscoring opportunities and he can score goals. He will be a massive addition for us."
Barker has come through the youth ranks at City and has represented England at Under-18 level.
