I can confirm that squid will write to /var/log/messages if syslog logging is
enabled AND syslog is configured to write to /var/log/messages (this is the
default behaviour on some Linux distributions, such as Debian, but not Ubuntu).

Squid writes into this file? I chose the Squid default log files which are
contained into /var/log/squid/ folder.
note that the messages you poster are usually sent to cache_log, not
access_log, so check your cache_log settings.
as noted below, the "-s" option for squid makes it log to syslog, so you
need to remove that option off your systemd unit file or init.d file,
whichever is used on centos7.

Ok, I noted these 2 squid processes:

squid (squid-1) --kid squid-1 -sYC
-s means "Enable logging to syslog”
This option ‘-s’ could explain writing to messages ?
Squid does not write to /var/log/messages. On startup before Squid reads any
configuration about whether cache.log or syslog is to be used it logs to
stderr.
That stderr channel is handled by whatever init system or shell is starting
Squid. /var/log/messages is the init system log file.
Actually no, /var/log/messages is not an init system log file; on some Linux
distros it is a default log location for syslog.
I can confirm that squid will write to /var/log/messages if syslog logging is
enabled AND syslog is configured to write to /var/log/messages (this is the
