The Argentinian has been unable to hold down a regular starting place at Manchester City under the management of Pep Guardiola. The 32-year-old has made just 14 Premier League appearances this season.
West Ham have been linked with Zabaleta and former Arsenal defender, Bacary Sagna, who are both out of contract in the summer.
The right-back position has been a problem position for the Hammers this season and Zabaleta would provide a wealth of experience for Slaven Bilic.
The City boss is reportedly hoping to sanction of a squad overhaul this summer as he prepares for his second season in charge at the Etihad.
