RB Salzburg are currently in the spotlight due to their recent performances in the 2025 Club World Cup, transfer activity, and ongoing squad developments.[1] Their latest international action was a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Al-Hilal in Group H, leaving Salzburg in second place behind Real Madrid on goal difference, with both teams set for a decisive showdown in Philadelphia.[5]

In the transfer market, Salzburg have been active with several new arrivals and returns from loan. Notable incoming players this summer include Oghenetejiri Adejenughure from FC Liefering and Sota Kitano from Cerezo Osaka.[4] Players such as Kamil Piątkowski, Ignace Van Der Brempt, Bryan Okoh, and others have returned from their loan spells to rejoin the squad.[4] Meanwhile, confirmed winter transfers included Yorbe Vertessen (from Union Berlin for €4m) and Lucas Gourna-Douath (joined Roma on loan), while Amar Dedić left for Marseille on loan.[2]

Amid this transfer activity, attacking midfielder Oscar Gloukh has attracted significant interest. VfB Stuttgart is reportedly considering him as an alternative target, while Ajax and Roma have also been linked, with a potential price tag of around €20 million.[3]

Salzburg’s form has been steady, competing in the Austrian Bundesliga, and they remain one of Austria’s most successful clubs, playing home matches at the Red Bull Arena.[1] Thomas Letsch continues as head coach, with key standout players including Oscar Gloukh.

Pre-season preparations included hosting Derby County in a friendly as part of the English club’s overseas camp, offering Salzburg a valuable run-out ahead of their next Bundesliga fixtures.[7]
