New coach Jean Fernandez is keen to keep Lachuer, according to the player, but Nice and St Etienne are both ready to offer a contract to the midfielder.
"Apparently, Auxerre's directors would like to keep me," Lacheur told But. "I want to have a chat with Jean Fernandez."
"I am still discussing with St Etienne and I have had [Nice] coach Frederic Antonetti on the phone, he is still interested."
Meanwhile, Benoit Cheyrou is a target for St Etienne, Monaco and Paris Saint Germain.
Cheyrou has a contract with Auxerre until 2008 but has had serious talks with Les Verts, who are also interested in former Udinese star Lucas Castroman.
