The 27-year-old is contracted in Glasgow's east end until the summer of 2027. He last penned a new deal in 2023.
In Celtic's end-of-season video that was recently posted across their X, Instagram and YouTube pages, Maeda spoke out: "Since I've joined Celtic, I've been playing football with joy," he said.
"There is no difference between now and the past. I still enjoy playing here."
It remains to be seen where Celtic may look to strengthen this summer.
Kieran Tierney will return to the club on a free transfer on July 1 as his Arsenal contract expires.
Jeffrey Schlupp, who spent the second half of the campaign on loan in Glasgow's east end, is now officially a free agent after Crystal Palace opted not to renew his deal at Selhurst Park: "It's been an incredible eight years playing for this club," he said.
"I've met some great people – the Chairman, the gaffer, and all the staff I've met over the years – and it's meant a lot to have played for Crystal Palace. A big 'thank you' to this group, who have achieved something so special.
"You ask anybody about the Palace fans, and they know about the atmosphere that they create, and the amount of times they've pulled us through in difficult times. They've been our 12th man – so thank you to all the fans who have always supported me."
