Would
Hi.
"Athletic Bilbao have released a statement claiming they have rejected a €36m (£28.85m) bid for Ander Herrera from Manchester United. (...)
"Herrera would become the first new signing United have made since they confirmed Louis van Gaal– currently in charge of the Holland national team at the World Cup – as the permanent successor to David Moyes, who was sacked in April." [From The Guardian.]
Does the verb phrase "have made" have the implied "would" preceding it in such a context?
Thank you.
