There are a few instances that seem to imply Subaru is a/the Sage.

Just a theory, I think the author has shied away from showing the Flugel/Sage because it would contain further spoilers in the story. Should we know who that person was in the past, it might have a direct corelation to the story unfolding.

I hope someone can prove me wrong on this but I think Echidna may have contracted with the Flugel in the past. If she took his memories like she tends to do to others then it would stand to reason why Subaru has his scent and compatibility as Sage. It would also support the dialogue where Echidna exclaims; "He isn't there yet." The "there" could be representative of something like his powers or perhaps his memories/knowledge...
