Really in the end if Yuu were to endter a relationship it would come down to two options:

Mika:

Mika and Yuu definitely have a very special bond. As of now their relationship is platonic but Mika most likely has feelings for Yuu. When Mika told Yuu he loved him he used Daisuki which can be used for friends but can also be used as a confession. The latter however is the more likely the case.

Shinoa:

Yuunoa is the second most most popular ship for Yuu. Shinoa and Yuu think of each other as close family. Shinoa is arguably the closest friend to Yuu in their squad. Shinoa has a crush on Yuu which Yuu is completely oblivious of.

Personally I don't think Yuu will end up with either of them. If Kagami took the Yuunoa route he would piss a good chunk of the fanbase. If Kagami took the Mikayuu route he would risk losing popularity in Japan since Japan is still a kinda homophobic country. The smartest and safest way would be to satisfy both sides by making the ending ambiguous. Let the fans decide for themselves. i see people bringing up " yuu wanted to die when mika died" as proof as their feelings being mutual, but that just how yuu is. He loves all of his friends so much that he is ready to die for each of them. Remember when guren was in danger, and they all thought it was useless to help him exept yuu, yuu tooks 3 pills and he knew it would kill him. So i don't think he is in love with any of them.
