During five ROSAT HRI observations in July 1995, a bright X-ray source (designated 1RXH J132519.8-430312) was detected 2.5 arcmin south-west of the nucleus of NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) at the outer regions of the elliptical galaxy. At that time it was the brightest point source in the ROSAT HRI field-of-view. All other ROSAT observations made before and after this observations show no trace of the source suggesting that this is a highly variable object. Chandra observations of Cen A made in September 1999 show a source at the ROSAT position, which may be the quiescent counterpart of the transient. It is very probable that the transient is located in NGC 5128. Given the existence of a transient source that close to the direction of NGC 5128, all observations (at least in soft X-rays) of Cen A, with instruments of low spatial resolution, should take the variability of this object into account.
