Whyte, who holds the WBC's interim title, is owed a mandatory shot at the full title by February 2021.
Wilder had been the champion for the last five years, until suffering a seven round TKO defeat at the hands of Tyson Fury on February 22 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas,
Whyte is going to return on May 2, when he faces former world champion Alexander Povetkin.
Fury and Wilder will collide in a trilogy fight, likely on July 18th.
The winner of the trilogy will have to face Whyte - and he's not banking on Wilder to walk away with the win.
"He [Wilder] got bashed up in in his last fight so I think he will get bashed in again in the rematch,” Whyte told BBC Sport.
“It looks like I need to start looking at Tyson Fury. He's someone I have been trying to make multiple fights with over the years."
If he wins, the biggest fight for Fury is a unification clash with Anthony Joshua.
Joshua will first make a mandatory defense against Kubrat Pulev at Tottenham Hotspur stadium in June.
Whyte is not exactly sure of the outcome in a potential Fury vs. Joshua unification.
"It's a good fight," Whyte said. "They both showed different ends of the spectrum in their last fights - Joshua showed a bit of movement and a bit of boxing.
“One could read into that and say maybe he is gun shy or nervous and another could say he has improved his flexibility and his boxing skills. Fury has now all of a sudden become a front-foot fighter, which is something he has not done in years. It's a very fine line, they both have a lot of ability and a lot of skill there."
