Dejan Radić (born July 8, 1980) is a retired Serbian footballer.
On April 23, 2011 during a Russian Premier League game against FC Terek Grozny, he collided with Zaur Sadayev fighting for a high ball. Radić had to be rushed into the hospital and had to undergo nephrectomy after his kidney was found to be seriously damaged.[1] His club, FC Rostov, announced that he would continue to receive all the bonuses he would have received if he was able to play as a starter during the time of his recovery.[2] Former Russian international Valeri Minko, who played more than 200 games after undergoing nephrectomy himself after an in-game collision, said he expected Radić to fully recover and play again.[3] Despite Rostov's initial promises, Radić stopped being paid by Rostov in June 2011 and did not receive any money stipulated in his contract from that time until March 2012. Terek and Chechnya's president Ramzan Kadyrov paid him $50,000 as a goodwill gesture.[4]
