Thomas Gahleitner, the president of Ried, stated in an interview with Sky Sport Austria that the club intends to make every effort to keep Kingstone Mutandwa. Gahleitner mentioned that retaining Mutandwa is a significant financial challenge and that the club is in intense negotiations with Cagliari's sporting director regarding the possibility of Mutandwa remaining with Ried for the next season. According to Gahleitner, Mutandwa is one of the main topics in these discussions.

Kingstone Mutandwa has been loaned to Ried in Austria from Cagliari. The transfer is part of Cagliari's ongoing efforts to manage their squad during the summer transfer window. Kingstone Mutandwa's move was officially announced alongside other departures, including the permanent transfer of Pantelis Hatzidiakos to Copenhagen. The club is undergoing significant changes under the new sporting director, Guido Angelozzi, and coach Fabio Pisacane, focusing on both new signings and managing outgoing players.
