Any finish will yellow it. And the pine will yellow/darken over time anyway. Osmo Polyx clear is what a lot of people (including myself) have used and recommend. There’s also fiddes which is a bit cheaper and some prefer it, but I think it scratches easier.
Edit, here’s a photo mid sanding vs finished with osmo polyx clear. Because it’s more reflective when oiled, it looks a bit lighter in the photo, but hopefully you get the sense of the tone change. The floor is beech not pine, but the colour change will be similar.
