Maja, 19, is out of contract at the end of the season, and has been linked with a number of clubs over a potential departure from the Stadium of Light in January.
As well as Everton, the Northern Echo reported last month that Tottenham, Southampton, Manchester City, Millwall and Middlesbrough are all also interested in signing Maja, who has been a key player for Jack Ross’ side this season.
However, in a Twitter update, Donald confirmed that Maja wants to commit his future to the Black Cats, and is expecting an update on his contract situation very soon. Replying to a question about Maja’s future on Twitter, Donald said:
We are making progress. Josh [Maja] has said he wants to stay so we r [sic] just trying to finalise details. We all want it sorted soon and we will give an update before Xmas [sic].
Donald followed up with an update tweet, saying the club would release an official update on his contract situation soon, with signs looking promising. He tweeted:
Update for @SunderlandAFC fans’ questions. Juan staying. Josh and Lynden update soon but very encouraging.
