And if the 35-year-old can prove his fitness he will get a two-year deal at Upton Park.
Guti is available on a free and has been without a club since Turkish side Besiktas released him in November last year.
Barry O'Connor, who looks after Guti's affairs in England, said:: "West Ham will make a final decision before the next season starts. I cannot discuss what terms could be offered."

WEST BROM MULL OVER ROBERT GREEN
ROBERT GREEN could be offered a Premier League lifeline by West Brom.
The Baggies will turn to the 32-year-old former West Ham star if they can’t prise Ben Foster away from Birmingham.
Former England keeper Foster spent last year on loan at the Hawthorns and his permanent move to Albion seemed to hinge on whether the Blues got back into the top flight at the first attempt.
Birmingham missed out but now Albion are baulking at the £5m asking price, valuing the 29-year-old at nearer £3m.
Foster has attracted interest from QPR and Tottenham, but wants to stay in the Midlands.
And now new West Brom boss Steve Clarke could turn instead to Green if the Foster deal falls down.
He knows Green from his spell at Upton Park as Gianfranco Zola’s No.2 but wages could be an issue.
