I must use the sfp module at 3.125 Gbps (it support up 4.25Gbps).

Does the SFP module you refer to comply with the inf-8074i specification (ftp://ftp.seagate.com/sff/inf-8074.pdf)? I suspect it does.

Refer to Altera's "serial gigabit media independent interface (https://www.altera.com/solutions/technology/transceiver/protocols/pro-sgmii.html)" page. This discusses connecting SFP modules to Altera FPGAs, including Cyclone V GX.

Cheers,

Alex
