He might, but definitely not this season. He will take his time.

Does anyone know why Bayern-fans are actually crying about this, and don't really want to lose him?

Less than 20m is a much better deal but honestly, fuck this guy. Would much prefer he stay at Bayern.

Valverde reportedly called Bartomeu when Paulinho was on verge of getting sold and has been in a bad mood in his press conferences lately when asked about Paulinho and a replacement.
Seem to have a massive mancrush on the Lord and possibly now on Vidal so wouldn't surprise me if Rakitic, Vidal and Busquets become undisputed starters with Coutinho, Dembele and Malcom being rotated.

Problem isn't the money, nor is it ultimately the player itself. If we had trust in our coach, this wouldn't be an issue because we'd trust he would use Vidal on a limited role based on his characteristics.
Because it is Valverde, this is concerning. He will play Vidal in a key role if fit.

Reddit Madridistas are adamant that Kovacic will step up.
That got me so confused reading so many of them ok with Modric leaving because Kovacic will save the day.
First off, why would they bother playing 4 midfielders anymore? No Zidane and no over-abundance of WC mids if Modric leaves. Could easily see Lopetegui going with 3 and Isco just taking Modric's old spot while Kroos increases his role. Especially since they want to emphasize the wingers they have in Bale, Asensio, maybe Vinicius, etc.

There is no way this was decision between Thiago or Vidal.
Two completely different profiles of player and probably a huge difference in the price of players as well. The club (EV) wants a physical b2b workhorse midfielder. Then Thiago wouldn't even be on the list of options.
I'm in agreement with the club that we need that profile more than a Thiago profile because of how we've been outplayed in the CL in recent years. Mostly due to physicality and aggressive teams.
Whether Vidal is the best choice or not I'm not sure. But please don't spout BS like this signing is a choice between Thiago or Vidal or even 30m Vidal vs 200m Pogba.
Player profile and budgeting is the main two things the club needs to take into consideration when making these transfers.

These guys will see mighty RM's youth this season in a CL without CR7's luck, drive, decisive goals and headers.
Let's see how much RM's youth will win this season.

valverde is sticking to that 4-4-2 formation. i won't be surprised to see rakitic on the right and vidal lining up adjacent to him in the centre against alaves

A starting midfield of Rakitic, Vidal, and Busquets with Coutinho, Dembele, and Malcom on the bench. That's a wet dream if I've ever heard one.
Wet because I'll be crying.

Imagine leaving a combined 300M in players, including your two most expensive ever, on the bench, because you have a workhorse fetish.
