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.{{cite web|url=https://www.redbullsalzburg.at/de/fc-red-bull-salzburg/news/saison_2016_17/wer-naechste-saison-beim-fc-red-bull-salzburg-spielt.html|title=FARKAS, BERISHA, LEITGEB, WOLF SIGN; IGOR, HAIDARA UP; DABBUR, YABO BACK|website=Red Bull Salzburg|accessdate=28 December 2019|language=German}}
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.{{cite web|url=https://www.redbullsalzburg.at/en/fc-red-bull-salzburg/news/saison_2019_20/domestic-year-in-review.html|title=Domestic Year in Review|website=Red Bull Salzburg|accessdate=28 December 2019}} 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.{{cite web|url=https://www.tt.com/sport/fussball/15871513/favoritensiege-im-oefb-cup-salzburg-schoss-parndorf-7-1-ab|title=Favoritensiege im ÖFB-Cup: Salzburg schoss Parndorf 7:1 ab|website=TT|date=19 July 2019|accessdate=28 December 2019|language=German}}
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.{{cite web|url=https://www.skysports.com/football/salzburg-vs-genk/420343|title=Red Bull Salzburg 6:2 Genk|website=Sky Sports|date=17 September 2019|accessdate=28 December 2019}}
On 23 December, it was reported that Farkas had suffered a stroke in training on 21 October. 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.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/fc-salzburg/story/4019690/fc-salzburg-defender-patrick-farkas-suffered-stroke-in-training|title=FC Salzburg defender Patrick Farkas suffered stroke in training|website=ESPN|date=23 December 2019|accessdate=28 December 2019}}
