Inter Head To Austria For Red Bull Salzburg Clash In August
The Gazzetta report that Inter have also added a friendly against Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg to their schedule.
The friendly match will take place on the eighth of August at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg.
Inter have already faced off against the same opposition in a friendly match recently.
On December 7 of last year, the Nerazzurri faced Red Bull Salzburg in a friendly in Malta. This was part of the teams’ training retreats during the World Cup.
Given the winter World Cup, the club season was halted for a lengthy period for the tournament. Those players from both Inter and Salzburg’s squad not in Qatar for the tournament were part of the match.
Moreover, the friendly was a signifier of increasingly positive relations between the two club.
Inter have set up strong ties with Salzburg Sporting Director Mario Gomez. They reportedly have held a number of transfer talks with the Austrians as part of these friendly relations.
