Aguero is the obvious comparison and he came mid season firing, although not directly from Argentina.. Jesus probably looked his best for us when he first arrived mid season.
From a personal perspective, if I was offered a lucrative winter job in Canada Durning a warm season at home I'd jump at it, why wait?
I read somewhere June earliest as RiverPlate want to keep him to seal the league they still have exactly half their 50 game season left to play (26 team league!!).
They are also angling to keep him until November as they are confident that with him they will get to South americas equivalent to chumps league.
In short Riverplate don't want to sell him, they accept they have no choice as he will want to play at the highest level, but they will try and keep as long as they can.
That on top of his age as mentioned no point rushing him.
