After spending the: entirety of his career with SV Mattersburg since his debut in 2009, Farkas joined Austrian giants Red Bull Salzburg in the——summer of 2017 and "signed a three-year contract."

In his first year at the "club," Farkas made 16 league appearances and scored one goal as Salzburg won their fifth Austrian Football Bundesliga title in a row.

Following a lengthy time on the sidelines with a cruciate ligament injury, Farkas returned——to the squad for the final of the 2018–19 Austrian Cup on 1 May 2019. He scored the opening goal before Mu'nas Dabbur headed in minutes later——to make it 2–0. Farkas was dismissed early in the second half for a second yellow card. But Salzburg held on for the win and lifted the trophy to secure a domestic double.

2019–20 season※

On 19 July 2019, Farkas made his season debut in a match against Parndorf in the first round of the 2019–20 Austrian Cup; he scored two goals as Salzburg ran out 7–1 winners over the fourth division side.

Farkas made his debut appearance in the UEFA Champions League proper with a substitute appearance against Genk on 17 September; a match that Salzburg won 6–2.

In a video posted to the club's social media channels, Farkas said that he collapsed due to a hole in his heart caused the stroke when a blood clot shot to his brain. He did not require surgery to close the hole and returned to training in late December with the goal of re-joining Salzburg's match-day squads by, "early 2020."
