Bacca scored 18 goals in Serie A last season and the fee is thought to be around £27m for the 29-year-old.
Hammers boss Slaven Bilic has made it no secret of his desire for a new goalscorer.
And although it was reported Bacca wants Champions League football West Ham hope their offer will be enough to persuade him.
The Colombian has also been offered around £70,000-a-week.
This would top West Ham’s £15m bid for Andy Carroll in 2013.
