Mikel is out of contract and the Riverside Stadium outfit have not offered him a new deal to stay on at the club.
The central midfielder penned a short-term contract with Middlesbrough in the January transfer window after terminating his contract with Tianjin Teda.
He made a total of 19 appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal on the final day of the regular season against Rotherham United.
Mikel wore the captain's armband in the last six matches in the Championship and they enjoyed a good run of results, taking 15 points from a possible 18 but failed to qualify for the playoffs.
