Marseille to make mikel highest paid player

I think there may be some confusion here!

Marseille is a city in France, not a football club. However, I assume you meant to say that Olympique de Marseille, a French professional football club based in Marseille, is planning to make Mikel, a Nigerian professional footballer, the highest-paid player in the club.

If that's the case, I'd like to clarify that Mikel is a former Nigerian international midfielder who currently plays for the Chinese club Tianjin TEDA. He has not been linked to Olympique de Marseille or any other European club recently.

Additionally, it's worth noting that the highest-paid player in Olympique de Marseille is currently Dimitri Payet, a French midfielder who earns around €10 million per year.

If you have any further information or context about Mikel's potential move to Marseille, I'd be happy to help clarify things!
