'I'm the longest serving breakfast presenter in the country, so I'd like to think I'd be in the frame,' he told the Manchester Evening News.
When asked if he'd been approached, he added: 'In this business you get enquiries and approaches all the time.'
Holmes has always been a morning TV show presenter, currently hosting Sky's Sunrise and This Morning on Fridays and half-term holidays with his wife.
He's been critical of Daybreak in the past and claimed it had copied ideas from his own show.
'I haven't seen a minute of it and I won't be watching' he said.
'I'm far too busy on my own show, although I take it as a compliment that they like ours so much they decided to steal elements from it for theirs.'
He also claimed he'd previously turned down an offer to present Daybreak, saying it had been a 'difficult decision' but he didn't regret it.
