Can't see why we would need Kante though. Matuidi already brings enough physicality in that midfield. We need a midfielder with pace going forward

Kante is TWICE the defensive ballwinner that Matuidi is. Matuidi is more of a b2b hustler, but his direct impact on defense isnt much, just aggressive running with occasional useful pressuring, but he doesnt tackle, intercept and cover a whole midfield like Kante does. Think Vidal defensive impact for us at his prime, thats what Kante does, Matuidi doesnt come close to that the way he plays.
There is zero chance Chelsea are willing to sell him, let alone swap him.
But if they were stupid enough, we would get a hell of a player who would free up the entire team to focus on creating and attacking:

What do we need Kante for if we have Matuidi?
Get a considerably better ballwinning player? Midfield is huge weakness because of our inability to get out of pressure and keep getting the ball back, Kante does the latter instanteously in most games.
