Ivory Coast international, Bonaventure Kalou, who scored the winning goal for Auxerre in the French Cup final on Saturday, is set to leave the club.
"I intend to leave and the coach knows that," said the 27-year-old who captained his country to a goalless draw against Libya in a World Cup qualifier in Tripoli just 24 hours before Saturday`s final.
We`ve already spoken about it but we couldn`t really talk about it before the final," he said.
"Now we`ll talk about it calmly and to leave after having won this final and scored the goal for Auxerre is the ideal time."

I`d love to know as soon as possible or before next week`s holidays if possible.
"I`m ready to go abroad. I`m no longer very young.
At 27 years of age, I`m ready mentally."
Kalou said a possible transfer to French team Paris St. Germain would not be scuppered solely because the Paris club had not qualified for Europe next year.
"It`s not a problem not to play in the European Cup.
"A club might want me as a replacement and play the European Cup and another might not play Europe but want me as the ringmaster."
