Talks were held with Sporting Lisbon’s Rúben Amorim last month and some figures within the London Stadium believe the 39-year-old would be the best person to take over from Moyes.
However, Amorim’s contract contains a €15m release clause and there are doubts over whether West Ham are willing to pay that.
That has left Lopetegui, out of work since leaving Wolves last summer, as the frontrunner.
