Turan, 31, also reportedly entered a hospital with a gun, and told Berkay: "I didn't know she is your wife. I'm sorry, just kill me."

A Turkish TV station published footage showing the aftermath of the incident during a night out in Istanbul.

The video shows Turan looking aggravated outside a nightclub as a heated argument takes place among a group of people.

Berkay launches something to the ground in fury as fellow Turkish international Burak Yilmaz also gets involved.

The footage also shows Turan entering the hospital and having a discussion with someone.

An object - that appears to be a gun - is then thrown onto a sofa.

Turan has spoken out, denying parts of the story.

He said on Instagram: "I would like to make a statement about the news in the papers.

"There was an argument on my day off at the place that I went with my friends, but the reason is not about honour and purity as reported.

"It is not possible to be that way."

Turan had reportedly tried to smooth talk the singer's wife Ozlem Ada Sahin.

It was suggested that Berkay sent his wife home to the two could have words, before Turan allegedly broke his nose with a punch.

Turan was also involved in a huge controversy ON the pitch, following his arrival on loan from Barca in January.

The ex-Galatasaray hero was banned for 16 games in May after earning a red card for shoving and verbally abusing an assistant referee during a costly 1-1 draw with Sivaspor.

The suspension was eventually cut to ten matches.
