The Hammers made their move for Castellanos after being quoted £40m for Wolves’ Jorgen Strand Larsen and discovering Crystal Palace’s Eddie Nketiah had picked up a hamstring injury.
Argentine Castellanos, 27, also had interest from Flamengo and Leeds but is keen on a move to London and is discussing a four-year deal.
West Ham also remain in discussions to sign Fulham winger Adama Troare on a short-term deal and have discussed a loan for Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling, but the 31-year-old only wants a permanent move.
Brazilian Pablo Felipe arrived for his medical on Thursday ahead of completing his move from Gil Vicente, while West Ham hope to offset their outlay by selling Luis Guillerme to Sporting Lisbon for £17.5m. The 19-year-old is due in Portugal for a medical.
