The amateur club's president, Haldun Sehit, is overjoyed to see the groundbreaking transaction go through.
Sehit told NTV Spor: "We did this to make a name for ourselves in the country and the world. This is a first for Turkey and the world in the transfer market.
"Our name is being mentioned on television as if we are a professional club. We are proud of this."
Kiroglu added: "This is a first for me and for the world. As my chairman said, we are doing something new. I am open to new things. I hope this deal works well for both sides."
Will professional clubs follow suit? Who knows, but Kiroglu has cemented himself as the trailblazer.
