I will leave my current company within less than a year. So signon bonus should be repaid back and no vested stock at all.
Can I negotiate with the new company to get some compensation for those two, in addition to regular base/RSU/signon/relocate/bonus/etc?

Correct answer is “Hell yeah”. This is exactly how many people get a healthy initial grant. And that’s usually why companies give such generous grants during offer. To compensate for the loss of RSU you would be forfeiting.
