I'm expecting anything between 10 and 12, I don't think it will go as high as 15.
Leverkusen have to sell. If they don't sell him now they won't just lose the player for free next year, but they might lose him for free to their rivals Bayern. That's the reason why most of the rumors are about a transfer for 10-12m.
Marotta should close it for ~10 million. It's a situation similar to Krasic's, where the player wants us, with the main difference being that unlike in Krasic's case we don't have another team complicating things. Voeller made it clear that Bayern aren't an option while De Laurentis pointed out that after signing Inler, Donadel and Dzemaili, Napoli won't buy Vidal or any other MC. Everything goes our way and it will be silly to overspend in this case.

And I won't mind it too much. The latest articles I read point out again how it is Conte who's strongly pushing for Vidal. I would love it if our coach gets his preferred players.
In any case, if Marotta won't close it soon for a fair amount it will show his capabilities. He's not a big player among the directors to buy big names and he showed it, but as a Juve director he must be at least capable to quickly and successfully finalize transfers like this one.
