West Ham can sign Lyon defender Marcelo on a free transfer next summer.
The 33-year-old desperately wanted to join the Hammers earlier this year.
And both parties are keen to reignite negotiations, with Marcelo's contract set to expire next year.
A source close to Marcelo told The Sun: "A number of clubs are interested.
"But there was a good feeling about West Ham from the last time they spoke.
"It's a great opportunity."
